Well it shows that the terrorists were trying to stay alive and make an influence by staying on the news, since the attack was poorly coordinated and executed. By paying attention, we are feeding the fire.

The war on terrorism has been unsuccessful, primarily since military action taken against it often fuels the fires that cause terrorists to be terrorists.

      The recording of Kevin Cosgrove was very disturbing. Kevin thought he was safe and going to see his family again but never did. This helps you realize how important your family is. It was awful that his wife thought he was still alright. The most terrifying part of the recording was when you heard him fall to his death.
      The photo of Brian Sweeney was very depressing. The message he left his wife was heartbreaking. I loved the part when he said, I'll see you when you get here." He is telling her that he will see her in Heaven. This was probably one of the most bittersweet stories I've ever read.
      The first hand accounts were very sadening. many of them described how the survivors felt trapped and there was nothing they could do. It also showed how they all believed help would come, but it never did. Many of the accounts were to loved ones, which made it sad too.

The article is saying how less people have applied for government aid, however, this could be due to computer malfunction. This does not mean there are jobs hiring more people, it just means it is leveling out. While this doesn't exactly mean the economy is improving, any step in the right direction helps, and is on the road to recovery.

I think that the government should have some ability to know what is going on, but that currently they are knowing too much. As one person pointed out, we never ask the question of how well they are doing. The amount of personal knowledge the government knows, however, is too much. To be able to look at everyone's personal messages and emails is too much information. I believe public sites and google searches are okay for the government to have, but not what is considered private.

I think McDonalds can add whatever price items they want to the dollar menu. It is their business to run how they want. As an ethical view, raise their wages for their workers, however, it is a free world and if people are willing to work for the low wages, they should be allowed to hire people at that wage.

There is no clear indicator as to which degree is better, since a person should choose a degree based on what they enjoy, however, engineering degrees make the most out of college. I would like to see a poll on which people arehappiest after college as well as their earnings and if they chose a degree they like. This information will not impact my decision about college at all.

No I don't think it's an invasion of privacy. If it is on a public site or social media site, then it is open to the public, including the government.
