Ads on Tests

So I hear that teachers are begginning to put ads and sponsors on test to pay for them. Due to school budget cuts test are becoming much harder to pay for, so one teacher is now putting ads on the tests he gives his students. Personally I think it is a very creative way and easier way to pay for tests. Although i think it is sad that we must revert to this in the first place, I also think that it is great that someone is think of something to get around this rescession we are in.

No on prop 8

Say no on prop 8 and if you still haven't had a change of mind read one of Voltaire's quotes and then you will see how I feel "The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to endure those without it."

NO ON PROP 8

NO on prop 8 it is discrimination and goes against what the Constitution of America clearly sates the freedom of all individuals, and that no person shall have their rights stripped away from them. And you know what if someone talks to me one more time about religious right I am gonna... rawr because it doesn't take away a person's religious rights. If you have the right to practice a religion you should also be able to be legally married and recognized as a gay couple.

Deaths as Thai police, protesters clash.

Bangkok, Thailand The smell of death followed in Thailand, shortly after the police had a quarrel with anti-government activist who surrounded parliament and prevented lawmakers from leaving. One of the two victims who died when a car-bomb exploded near the protesters. Hospital officials say that the other woman died from severe injuries to the chest during the clash with the police. The protesters first prevented the lawmakers from entering the Thai parliament where the newly sworn-in Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat was making his first speech to the legislative body. Hospital officials also confirmed that 420 people were injured during the quarrel. After the speech the anti-government protesters prevented legislators from leaving for a short while by locking the parliament exits. Three helicopters arrived to get Somchai to safety. Many of the protesters set up walls of tires and barbed wire along the streets to prevent "riot ready" police forces from advancing any closer. Unfortunately after this violent protest took place Deputy Prime Minister Chavalt Yonghaiyudh announced in his resignation letter that he is taking the responsibility for the mis-communication between the protesters and the police. this protest is only one in a series that began over the summer.
