Tainted Milk?

Well, this is old news, but China and its milk controversy have caused the death of a second child. Before I present my views, let me try and state everything in China that has been looked down upon everyone everywhere:
Poisoned Dog Food
Poisoned Seafood
Lead-Painted Toys (Poisoned)
Internet Censorship (If you look up Tienanmen Square or Dancing Banana, it will be blocked)
Poisoned Pirated DVD's
And the list goes on...
Anyway, the greed that goes in China in insatiable. To go with the milk scandal, greedy people who want to save a few pennies would water down the milk, then add melamine to make sure the milk passes standards. Melamine is commonly used in coatings and laminates, wood adhesives, fabric coatings, ceiling tiles and flame retardants. Melamine is known to cause kidney stones. China's regulations have been reputedly low and let this happen, with the list above.

Ruined U.S. economy?

Within the past few weeks, the U.S. economy has been going down the hole. The Lehman Brothers have gone bankrupt, Goldman Sachs has taken a big hit, major stock indexes have lost tons of points, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac was taken over by the government etc.
Personally, I believe the economy will further worsen even though the government is implementing a plan to fix this crisis. Stocks will fluctuate, oil and other commodity prices will increase, and the U.S. economy will slow down in my opinion.

My thoughts on Wikipedia

Wikipedia is one of the best sources out there (opinion)!


Anyway, some people (teachers) believe that Wikipedia is an unacceptable source. I don't mean to question authority, but Wikipedia is quite reliable, as moderators consistently check for spamming, hacking, inaccuracy, etc. It was even compared to Encyclopedia Britannica, and Wikipedia was found to be more concise. So although I think that Wikipedia makes a good source, it's really easy to accidentally plagiarism. To avoid plagiarizing you should take info from the links that are cited on the bottom of the Wikipedia article. The best part is that Wikipedia is 100% free! (No subscriptions, fees, etc.)

Note: I have made it so that clicking on the emoticon (Dancing Banana) will take you directly to Ms. Froehlich's Blog.

Update: Lehman Brothers

I called it. I knew the stock markets would have another downturn after the giant filed bankruptcy. Your stocks will go down further. Stay tuned for more.

Alright the dangerous liberal bias,

Restating from my previous blog: "The liberal media channels (everything but FOX News)have been attacking Sarah Palin/John McCain to give Barack Obama more ground. Think I'm lying? Then explain this fact: On CNN, while Hurricane Ike was ravaging the south, CNN continues to rant about Sarah Palin. While Hurricane Ike was displayed on the bottom captioning, comments about Sarah Palin were taking up most of the TV screen. Here's more bias: Why don't these liberal networks cover Barack Obama's vice president Joe Biden??? (He's boring, no one really cares about him...) But anyway, don't let the subliminal messages of these liberal media networks get to you. Instead, watch something more candid, like Fox News." There is still more Sarah Palin coverage going on, and I haven't really heard anything about the hurricane...

New blog

I sorta forgot the username to my previous blog. This is a blog where you can discuss language arts related material (or pretty much anything, really). Welcome and no spamming. *This blog may have a minimal trace of conservative bias...
