    OH MY GOSH..! you will not believe this. The Mexican authorities confiscated 14 tons of marijuana in two semi-tractor trailers on sunday.!It was all bundled in about 300 packages. The trailers where parked near the city Puerto Penasco (northeastern mexico). No arrests were pronounced. But this is werid because just last month about 130 tons were found inthe Mexican border. So now that must be a hot spot for drug trafficking. But just a simple fact, 300 tons of marajuana cost roughly around 2 million dollars.!

    Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi visits HIV/AIDS shelter, promising to get medicine..


    This article is about the Myanmar(Burma) democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi visits the HIV/AIDS shelter.
    she is the lover of people in Myanmar.
    65 years old noble peace laureate.She was released Saturday from more than seven years of house arrest by the country's military rulers.Suu Kyi was detained for 15 of the past 21 years.her party won 1990 but was barred from taking power.
    The shelter, about 80 HIV/AIDS patients , was open by her political party on the outskirts of the main city Yangon.She went there to day,promising to try to get them medicine.


    I think she is a very brave leader that every one should see her as their role model.And i think a lots of patients are really happy and satisfy when she release and visit them.

    Mo San :)

    Suu Kyi's Freedom: A Catalyst for Change or Not?

    Aung San Suu Kiy she has been arrest for 22 years.
    she don't even see her husband,child and she people.burma people arrest her for alon time.
    I think they let Aung San Suu Kiy free because they want freedom.

    Obama think burma people should let Aung San Suu Kiy free.because they should be freedom in burma or democracy in burma.because they don't have democracy in burma.

    This article is about Aung San Suu Kyi,she is a Burmese woman she fought the freedom for Burma,she's been held under house arrest for 21 years. Obama said they should free her and have democracy in Burma. I think she is a great woman because she faught for her people and she has given up much of her life and her own freedom to help others.

    This weeks I watched a about Aung San Suu Kyi.
    She was a political prisoner in Burma. There are 2,200 polical prisoners in Burma.
    Suu Kyi was a long held under house arrest 22 years. President Obama give speech about Burma. He said they have to have equal voting and they have to release political prisoners in Burma.

    I think they still have not free to speech they want and vote also Regious freedom.
    Anyway,the leader of Aung San Suu kyi will keep doing freedom of Burma people who not have freedom.

    sincerely

    News about Aung San Suu Kyi she is Burmese she fight for freedom of Burma but the government of Burma take her and put her in the jail 21 years she had to be in her house can't get outside like 21 years. Just last week she got out of a jail or her house most people in Burma they are happy about her getting out of the jail.

    And Obama said the goverment of Burma they just play like be nice to show people, but they still don't have real democracy.

    College student body president admits he's an illegal immigrant

    Alberto Flores
    Argeo Fernandez

    we think the article about the college student who is caught in a terrible situation. The law is very rasist because they need to make important decitions about the ilegal students who want to study and get an education should be universal for every people in the world. He was brought to the US when he was 3 years old and now he is the student body president of a college! Not everyone can chose were they live so the idea is bring education for every student in the US. It would be very sad if this smart guy who wants to be a good person and education gets deported!

    Aung San Su Kyi is the only one freedom leader of the Burma. And she is daughter of genary Aung San Su Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi is the only one hope for get democracy. We think she is the one can help my people and country. She help to get democracy in Burma but the goverment didn't want her to do it or make it. That's why the government arrest her about 22 years. The goverment doesn't want her to get democracy. We don't have democracy, no freedom and can't vote who we want to be the goverment. The president Obama said," No fair election and they should free to Aung San Su Kyi".

    I think I can go back Myanmar and help and save my people. And also I'll try to get democracy. Therefore, I studying in USA and finish my education. I wish I can attend law or public policy college. After I get degree, I'll go back to my country. I know that I'll be the one of democracy leader one day. I wouldn't ever give up to get democracy. I will be there untill we get democracy. I am not afraid to die for what I doing. I don't care if they put me into the jail. I will die for my people and my country if I have to. Aung San Su Kyi is very smart and brave. I wish I will be like Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi is the one who against with the Burma goverment to get democracy. But one day there will be two people who fight Burma goverment and try to get democracy. Those people will be Aung San Suu Kyi and me.
    P.S: I want every body to know about Aung San Suu kyi and my country goverment. I want every body want to know about our country's law and what is happing in burma. Please compare your country law or govetment and my country law or our goverment.

  14. North Carolina might follow in the steps of the 13 other states that have already legalized the use of medical marijuana. A lawmaker has proposed its legalization, and as in other states also in the process of discussing the possibility of legalization, the proposal has been received with mixed reactions.

    The North Carolina Medical Marijuana Act was introduced by State Rep. Guilford Jones, who said that the bill will benefit the seriously ill. In the other states where the use of medical marijuana has been legalized, it is primarily applied as pain management therapy for those who are in advanced stages of pain-ridden diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. In the proposed North Carolina bill, patients with chronic ailments will be allowed to do the same.

    Florida woman diagnosed with cholera

    Lay Lai Wei

    In Haiti 1,100 people die by the disease of Cholera. They don't have enough medicine like America does. They are living in camps without clean water and so the disease keep spreading. Now a woman in Florida has the Cholera that she got when she was in Haiti. I think some more people need to go and help and support them in Haiti.

  17. In Pakistan 18 people were killed by a teen-aged suicide biomber and 33 were hurt.The teenager detonated explosives on the bus as it was about to drive off at the Tirah Bazar market in Kohat, according to city police chief Dilawar Bangish. Kohat is in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.The suicide attack drew swift condemnation from the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad.
    I think this is sad due to the fact that this teen would kill so many innocent people for no reason whats so ever.
