I heard a couple news stories today listening to the radio that got me thinking and don't know what to make of them.
First story is about a police swat team who got rewarded for their bravery in a raid of a house. Sounds all good, right? But their is something wrong here, they raided the wrong house! So how did they get this reward for bravery? Well the man in the house had a shotgun, nothing wrong with that, it is ok to have a gun in your house. Anyway the man shot his gun threw the wall because he thought it was someone breaking into his house and he was just protecting himself. Well after he shot the swat team shot back, no one was hurt during all this. But these members of this team are getting rewarded for a mistake. They are lucky no one was killed.
The second story is how the congress passed a law requiring every, single family house, in Minnesota must have a carbon dioxide detector 10 feet from each bedroom. This is because a families daughter died because of carbon dioxide poisoning. truly sad. A few things about this law tho. How is the state going to regulate it? I can see them sending out people with a measuring tape and measure to see if the detector is 10ft away. so what if it is 10ft 1in away? do u get fined or something? I don't know, and another thing. these detectors are not cheap, 30 bucks is the cheapest. So the least the state could do is offer rebates or send out coupons for these detectors. Again, it is a good idea to have a detector in your house, because carbon dioxide is a deadly poison gas.
Those are just a few news stories that got me thinking.

Time?
Have people lost the concept of time these days? I bring this up because last night at about 12am. my neighbors decided to have a party. I was not asleep yet so i herd everything. what i herd was mostly girls and girls laughing, and at night sound travels farther (i don't know that as fact but i think it is true) So i am laying in bed listening to these people be extremely loud for the time it was. It lasted until about 1 maybe longer. To be honest i was very close to calling the cops, that is how loud they were. It seemed to me that they did not care for the time or anyone else in the neighborhood either. I finally got to sleep, don't know what time but i did. But wait there's more. This morning at 8 i herd them still as loud as when they started. My mom says it was the kids at night then their parents in the mornin but i think it was the same people. Either way people still need to realize the time of there parties and remember people do sleep. Am i against parties? No, parties are great, but when u have a party late at night, keep it inside or quietly out side.
