Each year hundreds of old tankers, ferries, and cargo ships are brought to the mud flats of Bangladesh to spend their remaining years being broken down into scrap metal. I think it is just crazy that there are the massive ships just sitting in the mud waiting for the workers to show up with a blow torch and start cutting metal off for scrap. Also these are not just small ships they are massive, hundreds of feet long and tall just wasting away in the mud. Plus this cant be safe there are hundreds of workers and one wrong step could result in them falling 10 stories to a horrible death, but in their eyes its a way for them to make money and support their families.

Basically this article talks about how much work needs to be done to these bills before they should even consider passing them. In my opinion right now in the current state they are they give way to much power to anybody. A person who accuses a website of plagiarism can pretty much make a complaint and have the website shut down which is ridiculous. Also giants like google and wikipedia and youtube could be shut down. For example youtube would have to control their users and not let them use any music and if someone happens to see a plagiarized song then the whole website could be shut down. Plus there will never be a complete removal of plagiarism but it would help, but its just not good enough right now. So now that you know my stand point on these ridiculous bills go look for your self and get your own opinion.

A few minutes ago i finished reading a article on CNN called four legged crossing guard. I was about a very strange occurrence. Clifford mealy and his dog sophy had just moved to greenwich county. Clifford obviously had to get a job so he signed on as a crossing guard on one condition, sophy would be his side kick. Immediately, mentions the article sophy was a huge hit. It even tells how mealy had a special sign made for the dog to carry across the street with each crossing. Dogs are very intelligent i think and this is definitely a great example of how smart they truly are. Mealy tells how this is ljust another way to put a smile on a child's face and he hopes to keep sophy around in the future. Truly who can complain about a smart dog "doing her civic duty", i know i cant.
