Police should have more authority to uphold the law, instead of having the civilians hurting the police.

If all corporations merged than those corporations would make more money and make some of the smaller businesses go out of business. Quest and CenturyTel might take even more small companies out of business. Quest and CenturyTel shouldn't merge because it could hurt the economy more than help it.

The day outlook is busy just because of teaching and other important things. Karl Fisch should not have to balance to many things on his shoulders. Teaching is a hard enough job but when you add ordering books, and doing his current job it's like paying one man for two jobs. This reason is probably because of the economy and cut backs. Teaching requires hours upon hours of dedication and hard work not to mention doing another job. Karl Fisch must be under stress because of his jobs. Karl Fisch should not have to teach algebra 1 next year because it is to much weight on his shoulders.

In the article "The Race... Continues" by David Warlock describes the education system and its spending. They're were sixteen finalists in states that were legible for 4.35 billion dollars to be added to their budget. Congress is cutting the budget of schools anyway when we need to be increasing. The future of America lies within the kids and if the kids do not receive a good education than the future of America will grow dim. More and more schools are being shut down causing stress on kids and their families. Instead of giving 4.35 billion dollars to one school we should increase the overall spending towards schools. The U.S. is spending an incredible amount compared to the past years and increasing the nation's debt when instead the U.S. could be putting that money toward the education system. The U.S. should be giving not only one school but all schools more money to increase the education of kids around the country.

In the article "2010 AHS Faculty Dance Video" by Karl Fisch displays a video of an Arapahoe assembly. In this assembly the faculty dance in a 70's theme. These assemblies should be more common through out America. In schools there should be a fun environment to learn in. Every once and a while there should be something fun for example the school faculty dance. This dance was funny just to look at. If schools in America don't have any fun and strict learning strategies than school kids, like myself would not enjoy school as much at all. Its a good thing we had a faculty dance because it was fun to watch and should be done more often in schools around America.

In the article "A Different Kind of Company Name" by Google is astatic and fools you for a minute. The article describes Google changing its name to Topeka which is a city in Kansas. At first, taking this serious I was shocked and disturbed. Then realizing it was April fools day was glad it wasn't official. If Google changed its name to Topeka than more users of Google will be disappointed, including myself because Google has been established as a company that has valuable information. Google is one of many resources online but by far one of the most used. Google changing its name have fooled not only myself but probably many others. Its a good thing Google didn't change its name because of the history of Google.
