And That Was The Week Of Woe
Hidey hi to one and all!
Well, Easter's over, so that means Spring Break's over, so everyone has to go back to school, including yours truly (and I was just getting used to not having to battle algebra on a week-daily basis!). And it looks like Tiger Woods' scandal is over as well, 'cause he just went back to work, too. I hope he does as well as he did before all this crap happened.
I'm sure you've all have heard about the big tragedy that happened in West Virginia last week. All those miners lost in that explosion! Something has to be done to make their occupations safer, people! A lot of my friends have said that they should just stop digging for coal all together, that it's an energy source that's way past its time, it being a dirty source of energy that strips the land and which its waste products end up polluting the environment, and I, for one, have to agree with them. However, a lot of people also say that this is the only work that many of these people can get, and that their families have been working in the mines for many generations. So caring about the environment versus keeping people's jobs. What to do, what to do, what to do?
And, of course, we have to touch bases with the other tragedy which happened just this past weekend: the President of Poland and his wife losing their lives in that terrible plane crash in Russia, along with ninety six other people. I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to believe that this world is being given a heaping helping of woe that no city, or country, is able to escape. If it's not earthquakes like the one that hit the California/Mexico boarder last week, it's mine disasters, airplane crashes, and, of course, the economy, which is hitting all of us in the bread basket. If, like me, a lot of you are watching much less of the cable news networks and much more of HBO, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Current, and the like, I can't and don't blame you. I only read the newspaper for the comics, calendar, and image sections, and the only reason why I read the headlines and business sections is because our teacher gives us current events homework every Thursday night that we have to write a report about. It's not very pleasant to have to write weekly reports on terrible situations.
Oh, well. That's it for this week. Until next week, be well, stay well, and don't forget to help the earthquake survivors!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
