Mom killed over child murder.

A women was protesting in front of a local governement building in northern mexico when she was shot by a van of people that pulled up. There was said to three gunman in black suits and sunglasses. She was shot for protesting against the murder of her daughter who was killed and dismembered  and later burned. She was protesting because the main suspect was dropped and set free. She was shot for protesting the murder of her daughter.

I think that since she was on a government site on her own free will there is not much that could be done. Yes, this is a sad story of a mother still mourning over the loss of her daughter. But the government should not be punished for this. Even though a suspect was dropped from the murder charge I think that having him dropped had to be done from specific evidence for a murder that seems to be this serious and brutal. So i do not think that Mexico's government should get into any trouble for somethign happenign completley out of their own control.

Bomber in Coma

The main Lockerbie bombing al-Megrahi was released from prison recently because he has been terminally ill with prostate cancer. He was part of the bombing that killed 189 americans, our of the 270 that were killed all together. He is suppose to die before December 21, and his beloved friends are expecting any day to be his last. Americans are furious that he was released from prison for what he had done. Britain freed him from prison because they were scared how furious the Lybians would be if he would be held in custoday even while sick.

I agree with what the Britains did. They should release the guy because he is dying and he still has family that wants to see him. Like when people get the death sentance people are able to visit their soon to be passed away family. Since he is dying of something non-man inforced they should have the right to see him. I don't agree with the Americans being angry for this decision. I think it was the right one, and even though he did do somethign bad he still deserves rights.

Issue #2

It says that Medicare has been poorly used by the doctors because they get paid by the quantity not quality of the service they do. So some of the elderly people that come in for their medicare the government will pay for the first medicine they receive but then sometimes the doctors knowingly give them the wrong perscription. Same goes with people who use medicaid if they come in to get medicine the doctors still use the quantity factor on how they get paid. But finally in 2006 a law passed that based the pay on quality of performance. Giving doctors who help people with medicare a 1.5 percent bonus if they fill out the quality of their service. But some people say that this does not help Doctors make the right choices but only gives them the quickest way to help patients.

I think that it is right to have the doctors and hospitals get paid extra for effectivley treat patients with the best things possible, that proves that the doctors do care about helping people out and don't just go through to motions with every person. I also think that if they help people with medicare because they can see which doctor is the best and which one helps out their customers the most. I also think that people who cheated the patients and giving them wrong medicine and having them come back over and over to get better ones that will solve the illness or problem just to get paid more is wrong. http://www.medrants.com/archives/1670

17 Minutes from Destruction

A bomb was almost set off in the French Ministers office, it was seventeen minutes from defusing until it was detected and defused. Researches conducted a search for the people that tried to get away with this act of terrism on the French and they traced it back to people in the United Arab States. The bombs were attatched to cell phones and were suppose to go off. Luckily they got defused and no harm was done and the suspects were brought into custody.

I think that it is good that people were able to find the bomb and stop it before it was defused. If there was another big terrist attack would have been devestating to the world once again but opened up some more eyes. If it would have happened people would notice that there are threats and it wouldn't just be the U.S. looking for them and in a war over the same reason.

Warning Shots Fire by South Korea

North Korea had a fishing boat that ended up to cross the sea border of the two nations and a navy boat of South Korea fired shots at it warning that it was in their territory. It is said that there already has been 3 battles over the border already that has been seem to be ignored after the U.N. drew it. They shot 10 time at the fishing boat warning it to leave other wise  it would have been sank. They said the only reason they fired at them was because they had been ignoring their warnings over loud speakers after awhile.

I think that a sea border should not even be set up between the two nations. It is sad that they have claims over the waters in the ocean. They should be able to not have disputes over something as silly as this. It is not a big deal if they are fishing in their part of the ocean, and firing shots at them that could potentially harm people that are defenseless and not a threat is a joke. I think the only reason they should be chased out of the water is if it was a natural resource they were taking like oil.

Mail Bomb

A couple of guys addressed a letter to the French president that had a bomb inside it. They found that other parcels were addressed to other leaders around the world with the same exposives contents inside as the one that was found addressed to the frenchman. The people that were responsible for sending the package were found and they were wearing bulletproof vests and had weapons.

I think that people who actually think that they would be able to send a package with a address to a leader and think that it would not have been scanned or searched is psycotic. How dumb can people get and think that they would be able to get away with something like this. These people seem like infadels, and people who have special needs. If people ever get away with this I will be very surprised and frown upon government.

Earthquake hits Indonesia

On Monday a earthquake was hit Sumatra, Indonesia. The epicenter of the earthquake was said to be 8.8 miles deep, meaning that this was a large earthquake that was felt in 5 other towns. The quake was initially measured at 7.2 on the scale so it alarmed the country sending out a tsunami warning. Indonesia is prone to earth quakes and volcanic activity because it is located on what is called the Pacific Ring of Fire. Sumatra had a large tsunami hit the area in 2008, that is why the warning got out so fast because of previous experiences.

I think that it is great that finally countries have learned and taken initiative in helping build the own infrastructure. Since the earthquake hit Sumatra and the scientists warned the country fast enough to warn everyone of the tsunami that could potentially be caused shows how much they are improving their living conditions in that country. It is also good because since they do live in the so called Pacific Ring of Fire, if they can keep getting warnings out fast enough less people will be harmed by future natural disasters.
