Mexican Drug War Continues
Two more innocent bystanders were killed on March 19. These men are just the few of the many dead people caught in the crossfire. The drug war has killed many innocent pedestrians, and,
The killings have brought the country's bloody drug war close to home for Mexico's middle and upper class, which have remained at a distance from the daily turf battles between rival cartels. Now the elites are joining poorer Mexicans in questioning the use of lethal military force to fight drug cartels in their cities, and whether the army could be killing more innocent victims than it claims.
The solution- build higher fences and limit the amount of people that can cross the U.S. and Mexico Border Cities. One of the most dangerous cities in the world is Ciudad Juarez. The U.S. can limit and monitor which people can come into the United States, but one can question my theory, "If U.S. limits the border in Ciudad Juarez, then the problem will go to Tijuana or Nogales." That's why I said build a higher fence. The higher fence would make it harder for the drug lords to transport the drugs. If none of those ideas work, then legalize marijuana. There would be no black market for marijuana.
New IPhones
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple plans to reveal a new IPhone,
Apple plans to release a new version of its current iPhone this summer, continuing its practice of annual upgrades at about the same time of year, said people briefed on the matter. The model is likely to be thinner and have a faster processor, two people familiar with the device said.
Every summer since 2007, Apple has released a newer, better IPhone. The reason- more revenue. IPhone fanatics will die to have the latest, greatest IPhone, and Apple feeds off these customers and laughs all the way to the bank. As I see it, the new slimmer IPhone will be even easier to lose because it may slip out of the pocket.

Joe's Spout Mouth
When Vice President Joe Biden hugged President Obama, Biden whispered "big f***in deal". While the Health Care Bill is one of the biggest steps in American History, I can't believe he said that. Politicians are held at a higher standard (meaning they are expected not to swear, etc.) His foul mouth shows poor vocabulary skills, and it also convinces Americans that Joe Biden cannot keep his mouth shut. Please, Vice President Biden refrain from such language near a microphone.
New Curfew for Richmond
According to Richmond Police Chief,
that he believes introducing a strict curfew for minors will help fight truancy and stymie the crime wave plaguing that city.School officials said that on any given day some 4,500 Richmond teenagers are on the street instead of in school. Under a proposal that police plan to unveil this evening, schools would impose a curfew. Any students caught wandering the streets could face a juvenile court judge and perhaps have to pay a fine.
Nearby Hercules and Pinole have similar programs.“It is another tool we can use to get our kids in school so we know they are safe. What the cities have found out is that with the daytime curfews the juvenile crime and activity has plummeted,” said Associated Schools Superintedent Wendell Greer"
However, this curfew is looked down upon by the parents. The parents believe that the police are invading their privacy. Even some parents say that the police should not tell them how to raise children. Since there are so many young adults wandering in Richmond, I believe this curfew will help keep students in school. The Richmond schools earn money daily for students attending the school as regular public schools do. This curfew ought to give Richmond schools the money they need.

John Boehner Calls Nancy Pelosi Out
Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio calls out Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi. He alludes to the back-room deals because that is what Pelosi did to get so many votes on the Health Care Bill last night. He also condemned Pelosi,
"You only can ignore the will of the American people for so long" and “We have failed to reflect the will of our constituents, and when we fail to reflect that will, we fail ourselves and we fail our country.”
