I read an article called, Oil spill cleanup underway at Boulder Creek. A man cut the wrong pipe and ended up spilling 30 gallons of heating oil into the creek. The contracter didn't report it or tell anyone about the spill what so ever. The oil was found to be non toxic so far but it still makes me wonder how dirty our creeks are now? It makes me consider how good the oil is to the wild life in the creek and the people around it.

I read the article, Some Houstonians 'calling in gay' Boycott is over California's gay marriage reversal. There's this huge "Day Without a Gay" economic boycott today. Gays are tired of being treated like second class citizens. Poeple were calling themselves in as gay for an excuse to miss work. I believe gays have a right to show there love for someone else, but I believe that calling in gay to work is not a legitament excuse. People need to let people love however or whoever they want, its not your choice to decide who people are going to love.

I read an article called, Flat tires, missing wheels don't deter Commerce City car thief and it made me think of why people steal so much? A car theif took the entire front wheel and the real wheel off a truck by going over the stop sticks in the road. I guess he really wanted the car! Somehow the guy got away and left the truck on abandoned on the side of the road.

I read an article called, Royal Gorge jet-pack stunt successful and it made me think about how far technology is going lately. Somehow scientists managed to make a hydrogen-peroxide powered jet pack that actually works. What's next a flying car? Or robots to do everything for us? The jet pack couldn't fly for longer than 20 seconds so the military saw it as pointless to use. I believe it is crazy that the man that flew across the Royal Gorge and not use a parachute, he must of been really reliable on the jet pack to fly him across. I would wear a parachute if I was flying a jet pack than can only fly for about 20 seconds over 1,100 feet deep gorge. Science has brought a fictional item, into the real world.

I read a disturbing article, Sheridan teacher charged in child-sex case and I found it disgusting how teachers would actually have sex with students. Sexual assualt is nor okay and there is too many people trying to get away with it and they need to be stopped. The student should of been having sex with his teacher in the first place. The lady was twenty five and the kid was underaged and she shouldn't of taken advantage of her students. This was a dumb idea on both parts and I believe they both need to be punished.

I read the article, Weld County raid nets $1 million in cocaine and it made me realize how clueless the law is with drug. They also found $42,000 in cash along with the cocaine. I can't believe we even have a drug task force and we still haven't show'd much sucess on stopping illegal drugs. They are still on an ongoing investigation and don't even know who actually did it. They need to do more work to keep our state or even country safer.

In the article, Denver drive-by shooter kills victim just makes me realize how fast your life can end just be being by a street. A man was walking down the street with two of his friends at 10:45 at night. There has been no suspects yet and the shot guy has not been identified yet. Streets are dangerous and I think people need to take more thought into what they're causing and what they're doing to others before they do it. It scares me to know people that dangerous are roaming the streets. This young man was only twenty-one and his life already ended right when he was a legal adult, this story makes me worry about our own safety in Denver.
