[Crazy Horse - Up Close!]

If you are planning a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, take the time to see the Crazy Horse Memorial. ON our latest excursion, we became a member of the Driller's Club, which entitled us to a trip to the top of the mountain. It was an unforgettable experience. As we stood on the arm of the sculpture, we were able to look directly into the eyes of Crazy Horse.

The effects of domestic violence on children can cause many issues such as behavior and emotional problems, lowered cognitive functioning, and psychological distress.

This article  is relevant to my topic because it gives more specific information about the effects of domestic violence on children.  It is relevent because it comes from the US Department of Health and Human Services Children and Family Welfare Department..

Terror list suspects allowed to buy guns in US

/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42801680/ns/us_news-security/

This scares me to death.  Anyone who is being watched as a terror suspect should not be allowed to purchase weapons in this country.  Do we really want suspected terrorists to be in possession of a weapon that we allowed them to purchase?  What happens when they use that weapon on the American people?  If someone on the terror list is there for false reasons then they should be allowed to help clear their names.  Alternately, if someone finds out they are on the list and starts changing their behavior or their name then we should be watching them more closely.  I don't believe that the gun laws are strict enough.  Right now if you are convicted of a felony then you are not able to purchase a weapon; however, there are plenty of people who have only been convicted of misdemeanor crimes who should not be allowed to purchase weapons either.  It should not depend on whether your conviction is a felony or misdemeanor, but what the conviction is for.

Ethanol is it good or bad?

www.cnn.com/2011/US/04/22/earth.day.ethanol/index.html

My question is if ethanol is bad for your vehicle; which people on both sides of the issue have admitted to, and it apparently saves no oil why are we using it?

People are having problems with their fuel systems because of ethanol drying out seals and other rubber pieces including hoses.  The article also talks about how ethanol has to be transported in trucks which cannot run on ethaol because it will corode the seals in pipelines.  If it cannot be carried through pipelines then how do they expect us to think it is safe in our vehicles which are not made from the same grade of materials as the pipelines?
