Missed jump---Here's a video I found entertaining

What I think of Shane's blog

I think that Shane has a legitimate complaint and was treated in a fashion that is ot supposed to happen in this country. These people obviously overstepped their authority and have no business in a job that allows them to carry guns. Any excuse that they have a high level of stress from their job is just that-- an excuse! If they have no more control than they showed, Who will be the victim of their next mistake?  It could be you or I. It's interesting that when the police are out of line now they play the terrorist card as justification for their actions. The terrorists did not do nearly the amount of damage to us as we did to ourselves in allowing them to make us give our rights and belief in freedom for all.

A blog I'm going to find interesting and useful

http://kalew2f09.blogspot.com/   Because this is where we will be interacting with each other as well as Kale so I'm sure I will be spending more time here than any other.

My First Blog

We are checking out blogs for our Web2.0 class at LCC. Since I haven't ever "blogged" before I can't help but learn something. Hope the rest of the class goes like this!
