Two Face Bush

The"Bush to Protect Three Areas In Pacific" article seems to be a contradictory article. In the past week, Bush opened three new marine safe havens totaling up to 195,280 sq. miles. He proposed this only two weeks before he leaves office. From what im seeing, he is trying to leave a legacy that we will remember about him. Many fisherman were concerned about the issue, Michael Nussman, president of the American Sportfishing Association says that it presumes recreational fishing is "an evil activity." 'If you're going to keep the public out of a public area, you need a darned good reason to do that."We don't think they've met that 'darned good reason' test." People thinks it's critical of what people (fisherman) are thinking about this.

The other article, "Bush's Seven Deadly Environmental Sins", talks about seven sins that he didn't accomplished that helped the environment. Then it gives a short summary about Obama's plans to fix and the environment better. This article was very one sided and it did not show bush's many accomplishments with the environment.

Both article was filled with evidence and quotes. They both have facts and opinions of each topic which gives a twist to the story. In my opinion I thought the second article was really interesting to read and it was informative that made it easy to understand about.

BLog 21, Im Back on Track!!!

Well for the past couple of weeks. it has been and issue for me to set down some time to write my blog and I am finally back on track. This year was a hard year for my family, but i am still thankful for many things. The first thing im thankful for was my new computer; last summer was my first summer with a real job, so i was able to save up enough to buy my own computer. The next thing im thankful for this year is how my family was able to stay together when my father passed away from his colon cancer. Overall, this year had it's ups and downs, but i cant wait to see what next year brings us.

Three things that i will accomplish for my project by dec 2 include; get a boat tour with coastkeeper; have a rough draft of my article; and get a interview done with sarah.

Part 2

For my article, im thinking about how much boats affect the pollution of San Diego bay. I am thinking about talking to surfrider, coastkeeper, and wildcoast, to see if they know anything.

Part 1

Election Reflection:
first of all, I believe that McCain would have been a better choice for our country. McCain has more experience then Obama and he was a POW, which to me, shows that he has been thought a lot. But, Obama has many ideas that are also good. For instance, his plan to find other ways to create energy will help our world survive a little bit longer. With racism still flowing through our country, especially in the south, it is possible that Obama might be killed. I hope this does not happen, because he has a loving family and it would also break the bonds between the whites and the blacks.

Civic Knowledge:
I believe I have a good amount of information about our countries politics and it's economy. I feel that I actually understand what people are talking about outside of school and with friends and if someone says something that I disagree with, I know how to explain my evidence to him.
