Pearl River Contamination

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/04/26/china.denim.water.pollution/index.html
The Pearl River at China has been so contaminated, it looks black. A lot of factories happen to be there. The most believed-to-be contaminating factory is a blue jean factory. The factory produces about 200 million jeans per year. It is noticeable that this factory is causing damages since a satellite can show the black water surrounding it. The process in which jeans are turning blue can result in wastes such as a cocktail of dye, bleach and detergent. The jean factory has to start thinking about solutions before the Chinese government shots them out. Other things contaminating it are debris (broken parts) and the bodies of pigs. The contamination is dangerous since fish can get polluted and damage those who eat it.
For my opinion this problem on China is very important and someone has to do something for solving the problem like for example the factory could care more and recycle things and the acids could be deposited on another place. For my opinion you can’t only blame that factory maybe other houses or people are contaminating the river. The author thinks that this can be very dangerous because the fish could eat the toxic things or liquids and then humans can eat those fish and die.

Russia Cancelled the Adoption for the US!

After a US family sent his adopted-russian 7 year old son back to Russia by himself. The Russian government decided not to let US families adopt in Russia. The US is really trying to convince the Rusiinas to give the permission back to them. I don't think this is a very good idea because the US has aopted about 50,000 children from Russia. My opinion about this is that they shoukld take they adoption permission for a little while just so they learn their lesson, and then they give the permission back. The author thinks that this is not fair becasuse the US has adopted alot of children and just because of 1 kid that was sent back to Russia they cancell the permission.

Thailand Holiday is Canceled

Unfortunately, three day Thailand New Year festivals at Thailand were canceled by the government because of protests. These protesters are anti-government and result deadly. They are called, Red Shirts. On the protests, 21 people have died, 17 people were Thailand citizens and four were militants. A violent massacre happened on Saturday where the military and the police used tear gas and rubber bullets against the protesters. One killed was a Japanese cameraman. The Red Shirts want Abhisit Vejjajiva to quit, since he has been a dictator and they don't want dictators to rule the county.
Opinion: I believe the government should give them democracy, The Red Shirts are right about that. I read an article where it says that they support Taksin, I do not believe in supporting him at all because of his believes. The Red Shirts do have the right to fight, as all humans have. Unfortunately, this situation is being violent.
The writer probably believes both sides are doing wrong. He probably believes the government had to take this measurements. Although, he also believes The Red Shirts are right about protesting about the government.

There has recently been a huge mine accident at the United States. It happened at the Massey Energy Co. in Montocoal, Virginia. This tragic accident included the death of at least 25 people. Nobody knows what the reason for this accident is. There has been a case of a mine accident on 2007 at a mine called Grandall Canyon, Utah, 6 miners were trapped. This is believed to be a criminal act. Many more mine accidents have happened at the USA. During time, mines have become a safer place. In the past, many more people would die of mine accidents than today. For example, on December 6, 1907, 362 people died because of the accident. Now, about 5 people die per accident.
My opinion about this is that its better that people are now safer inside the caves and that less people are dying. I also think that caves are really dangerous because it can fall anytime because its dirt.

What the author thinks of this is that there have been many accidents and its dangerous but it just a normal thing.
