I think that the title of this article fits it very well, "Is the World going nuts?" How it talks about ISIS, Syria, and Russia really kinda scares me. All these bad people in these countries just want to kill, kill, and kill like what is that gonna solve. I think that it just makes enemies. And it does the USA and our allies all think it's wrong because it is and try to stop these overpowered rebels. I believe that this article makes a valid point when it stated, "Europe went through its own religious wars, wars or nationalism, and world wars before it became the stable continent it is today" (1 Zakaria).This is a really good point and it makes sense to me. All of the rebels fighting to change their county is a good thing not the killing but the fight for change. It needs done sometime or another so why not now because you have to get through the hard times to get to the good. So there is good coming from this. We are in the midst of a global change and I think its for the good.

So now there is this huge swimming dinosaur called the Spinosaurus. First thing first is how do they know that dinosaurs ruled the earth no one human lived back then so what makes people think that they can make a call like that. Also if this dinosaur was so big then wouldn't it been easier for people to find the bones. And from the description of this thing is sounds really fierce like "muscular arms with blade-like claws that could have nabbed slippery prey." (Khan 1) It was kind of difficult to understand some of the things these scientist were talking about because they used big words that I didn't understand. It confused me how they said that the skeleton was discovered in 1912, but it took us until now to discover it. Why? I think it's cool how they were waiting for they guy to see if he would show back up and he did at the cafe just out of nowhere. This whole talk about them reconstructing this thing, but they had to use bones from similar species. Did they not have them all? From the way they were talking it seem liked they had them all. But I guess not.

So this weeks blog is on america's roads. It is just unbelievable how long we have let this go. We keep getting signs when all of the bridges are collapsing and people dying. I don't understand why the congress men and president don't see what needs fixed around here. Everyone with a drivers license uses the roads and they are a necessity for transporting goods. If we don't repair or replace the water and gas line built with these road we could have a gigantic problem on our hands, the whole world could blow up. We really need to work on our roads, we are ranked as a D+ that is awful it is making the US look really bad. I think that we should raise taxes as bad as it sounds it would make everyone's life better by improving roads. Once again it is very important to improve these roads because if we don't it could spiral into chaos one thing failing to the next.

I think that this terrorist group know as ISIS or ISIL needs to be stopped now they are getting too strong and are well funded. If we don't stop them soon then they will most likely cause another war for the US the get involved in so that our economy with get even worse. They have killed innocent Americans and have even threatened us they have gone too far. I understand that they were once known as Al Qaeda, but it is insane how they wanted to branch away from them because they were more hardcore and killed too much. And this is coming from one terrorist to another. ISIS has so many soldier that people can't even estimate. That is crazy how they can recruit that many people. I think that the US need to take note on how they recruit because we could really use a force as big as they are. ISIS has to be planning something big if they are taking so much land that they have pretty much started their own state. That have a leader known as the "new osama bin laden." The way that they hate everyone but themselves makes me to believe that they are like a modern day hitler that wants to take over the world and kill all that oppose them. Someone really need to bring a bigger force in to stop these people if they can steal more than $430 million from someplace something really needs to be done.

I think that it is a really good that mexico's economy has improved, but I don't think that it did it so much that it forced all of the gangs, human trafficking, and drug wars out of the country. I understand that people hate that fact of immigrates taking jobs that are supposedly ours but if the lazy Americans would get off there butts and work instead of getting welfare all their lives we would have the jobs. If I had to live in the dirt poor country they do every day and have to worry about how I'm going to survive every day I would run away to a better place too. Where the murder rate is the highest in the world, that's crazy. Also America should have expected them to take advantage of their policy of holding kids until trial that's a smart move on the gangsters part. I am glad they're trying to change it now but it's a little late for that. I feel really bad for the children that go through all the hard times to try to get into the United States. It must really suck having to go through living hell everyday of your life but the US doesn't really have any room. Those coyotes are really smart and they must be rolling in the money back home. They cost a fortune to smuggle someone here.
