PLN 16! kalvinp.

In "Some Houstonians 'calling in gay" Boycott is over California's gay marriage law. I think what matters to the gays is that love is somthing valuable and somthing to comit to and their rights. Gays are tired of being treated like they are not citizens of the u.s. I believe any one has the right to show there love for someone else. People need to let people love however or whoever they want, its not your choice to decide who people are going to love. This effects others because many people are gay in the u.s.

In "Early Morning Fire Guts Aurora Home" by Kieran Nicholson, what matters is that everyone is safe and no one is injured or dead. There was a fire in Aurora early in the morning, which fled five people from their home, but no one was hurt. The fire moved all the way, to there neighbor storage shed. There might have been a lot of damage done, but all the family cares about is being safe with no injury’s to take care of. This relates to others because a fire can take places any where and at any time.

In the Rocky Mountain News Five Algerians have been held in Guantanamo bay for seven years after the Bosnian Government requested that the US arrest them after they were found plotting to plant a bomb in the US embassy in October 2001. They served a sort sentence and were released a year later. Then six months later they were picked up in Afghanistan on their way to fight US forces. This relates to others because many people want US prisoners released and a study shows that most of them go back and fight the US. I think what matters to the two criminals is revenge against the u.s. because they kept them in prison for several years.

PLN 13 "Motorcycle crash!" kalvinp.

In Colorado Springs 23-year old Charles Galloway was riding with his friend 22-year Michael Stansberry. Charles lost control of his vehicle and hit a curb. He was transported to a hospital right away, but sadly he died shortly after that day. Authorities said no use of drugs or alcohol were used at the time. Luckily Michael Stansberry was not hurt.This topic relates to me because my neighbors had a recent motorcycles accident, but un like this man they wre okay. This relates to the world because many motorcycle accidents take place each and every year.

Pln 12 "crash of 16 year old"

In "Three sisters in Loveland crash identified" from The Denver Post. What I think what matters to the sixteen year old girl is her life and the lives of the other kids in her car at the time.It talked about how a 16-year-old girl crashed into another car with her 10 and 11 year old sisters with her. The 16-year-old suffered from major head trauma and serious concussions. Luckily both her sisters lived but were injured aswell, their conditions are unavailable. The man she crashed into was not hurt. I think this relates to others because there are many young and careless divers out there and passengers could be injured aswell.:(

PLN 11 "Bond is back!"

In "Bond, gadgets, girls back on the big screen" by Mike Pearson i think what matters was that there is another James Bond movie out and that so many people look at Bond as a hero. Quantum of solace is the 22nd James Bond movie out, and this time Bond is looking for revenge against the people that killed his girlfriend in the last movie "Casino Royal". What matters is that James Bond is a movie that everyone can love because it is a great action expirience. This relates to the world because there are actual people who are secret agents like james bond. I love James Bond Movies and i can't wait to see it in theaters.

In the YouTube video Dying Boy's Last Wish, what matters is survival and love and well his last wishes. A young boy was diagnosed with Leukemia and his doctor told him that he only had two weeks to live, But the one thing that made it different from other kids was that Brenden the young boy wanted to feed the homeless. He said, “ I was driving home from one of my clinics and I saw a big group of homeless people and I wanted to help them”. This matters to the world is that this is such a special boy because he wants to help others even though he is dying and this also matters to me aswell.
