At least 11 killed in Kentucky wreck

A truck had crashed in Kentucky the other day, killing 11 people, including the driver. The driver in the truck trailer had gone over the median and hit the van of most of the 11 people that had died. This makes you think, maybe we need more money for the roads, to make concrete medians so this wouldn't happen.

I think that this is super scary. One time when I was on the interstate a Semi-Truck had came into our lane and we had to drive in the median/grass because we had no time to slow down or speed up. I think it's super tragic that 11 people had died in this car accident. It's scary to think this could happen to anyone. Hopefully this will show that we need better medians or should hook up trailers better.

Medical marijuana users risk job loss

"When a rare form of cancer invaded Joseph Casias' nasal cavity and his brain, his doctor prescribed marijuana to help alleviate the daily pain." This story describes how Joseph had been prescribed marijuana for his cancer from his doctor and that when he was given a drug test at Walmart and failed he was fired. He had a card that showed he could be using the medical marijuana yet he still lost his job. He had also never came to work high. He tried his hardest he said. "I was angry they did this to me because I always tried my best," "I want my job back. I thought I was part of the Wal-Mart family." Casias' had said. With Walmart they have to fire them even with the medical marijuana because it's drug use. They have a policy with no drug usage at all of any kind.
I feel that this is horrible! The fact that your given marijuana for your health and how you lose your job. What should this guy do? Not take this marijuana just so he can make a living for himself yet die because he needed the job but couldn't get better. I feel it's wrong that they fired him for medical use or marijuana but in the same sense they can't not fire him and then fire someone who did smoke marijuana just because.

Grieving mothers blame baby slings for infant deaths

Everyone knows that the birth of a child is a beautiful thing, that having a baby of your own is a miracle. In Lisa Cochran's case, her miracle days had shortly come to an end. As her and her mother were walking around town doing arons, Cochran had put her 7 year old baby in a baby carrier called "The Sling Rider." From the walk to the car she had noticed something different about her son--"He was not the right color. He was yellow. He had purple spots from where the sling rubbed marks on his face," said Cochran. By the time the ambulance had got there and they got to the hospital, they said they weren't able to save him. Cochran had filled a lawsuit on the company for her sons death. The company had told many people to stop using the Slingrider but said they wouldnt take any responsibility in the deaths. They were all recalled after 14 deaths of infants.

I feel that there shouldn't be 14 deaths of babies to realize that the product isn't a good one. Obviously no money in the world could replace the death of a child, yet it's super sad that this happened to not only Cochran but many other mothers. I also feel that people should learn a little more about newborn babies. The fact that they are super young and have no strenght or control with their head, you shouldn't have put them in one of these yet anyways. If the company put on the package for newborns, then it's their fault for this kind of stuff happening.

HealthCare Blog

The new healthcare bill was put into place by Obama the other day and it will cost about 1 trillion dollars. When it comes to the healthcare bill I feel that not everyone will have the money and funds to have it. Many people say that it will be cheap to access it but what exactly is cheap to every single person in America? I think people should be able to choose whether they want healthcare or not, I also think it's ridiculous how there will be a fine if you don't get healthcare. So either way your paying out of your pocket. I would have to say that I'm not positive what my decision would be when it comes to the new healthcare bill. I feel it will be good because more people will go to the doctor when sick. But i feel it will be bad because it's a lot of money towards more debt and not everyone will be able to afford it. Also, the riches taxes will go up to pay for the people who cannot afford it. I feel we're making progress but yet our rights are being played with when we're forced to get healthcare.

Wounded pilot evacuates casualties in Afghanistan

This story was very interesting to me, it's about a pilot who had been struck in the head by a bullet and still managed to get everyone off of his aircraft safely. The pilot and a crew from the Discover Channel had been shooting for a show that showed battle machines. As they were filming the pilot had been shot and without any of them knowing they were in the middle of a battle. "There was a battle going on. On the way in we could never have imagined it would become this kind of mission." Brewer had said. The co-pilot had said that Ian wouldn't let go of the controllers of the aircraft, even with blood running down his face and through his eyes.
I think this shows a very great sense of bravery, courage, and honor. Despite the pilots injury he still managed to get everyone to safety. This in a sense though scares me quite a bit because more and more stuff has been happening with the war. How more and more people are dying, it's extremely sad that this would happen. It's also very scary because I know many people that are in aviation training now and this could happen again. It's good to know though that we have good trained soldiers/pilots as this article proves.

Abducted Infant, Found!

A 19 year old teenager had abducted a baby from it's home, She was posing as a investigator and told the parents that if they didn't hand the baby over that he would call the police. The police had said that the parents had taken the child to the hospital and that later that night they had noticed a woman following them from the hospital all the way to their house. The woman had then showed up at their door and said she was also a part of "The Department of Children and Families" and gave evidence that convinced the parents that she was part of that department. The parents found it to be suspicious and called the police. The police and mother had said " without the fingerprint, finding her "would have been much more difficult." The baby is now back home with it's parents.
I think that something like this is horrible. Kidnapping a child from it's home. It makes you wonder what if they hadn't gotten that fingerprint..then how would that child grow up without it's real parents. It's sad that these thing's happen and maybe we need a system that somehow would prevent this kind of stuff from happening.
