Medical Marijuana?

Marijuana may start being used for medical purposes, "Medical Marijuana." I sort of feel that this may be a bad idea. I mean I know there are people out there who actually need it medically for their pains and stuff, but I just know there are going to be a lot of people who say they need marijuana for issues just to get high all the time. If this becomes legal, it is going to be abused. I feel like there will be a lot more cases where people need "medical marijuana," more cases than before, but I feel for the wrong reasons.

The Remains of A Lottery Winner

The remains of a human being found in Florida were to have said to have belonged to this man, Abraham Shakespeare. He was a winner of a lottery ticket, which made him to be a millionaire. I think it is sad that someone killed him just for his money, and how the Park County Sherrif said:

"When their investigation began, they had hoped to find Shakespeare alive "and he truly had just wanted to hide from those who were asking him for money."

I can't believe someone could kill this man just for his money, are they really that desperate?? Killing someone for money is so ridiculous, it is horrible. A life for money, because he won the lottery ticket? That is sad. I hope they find the man and send him to jail with no chance of parole.

Raising Money For Haiti..With Music

In Oakland, soul musicians will be performing to raise money for Haiti. Many musicians are hoping to raise $100,000 and maybe even more. I think that it is great that many people are giving money and trying to help out the people in Haiti. I was actually surprised that this many people have helped out the people in Haiti, I never really expected it to be this successful, but I am truly glad. Those poor innocent people lost many family members, or have to deal with their own injuries, and it's nice to see Americans helping out in many ways they can. And it's even nice to see movie stars go over there and spend some time helping out over in Haiti, or just donating some money. I hope more and more people keep helping.

My Community Service

For my community service that I am going to start doing, I am going to be spending my time at the Contra Costa Food Bank in Concord. I want to help sort out cans and put them in boxes for distributing. I have spent many hours here before and loved it, I always had a good time, even just helping out without getting paid.

Salvation Army Receives Fake Checks for the Holidays? Really??

I guess for the holidays many people decided to donate fake money, a.k.a "checks," and put them in those little red containers. Now because inconsiderate people decided to do that, the Salvation Charities cashed the checks and went out and bought stuff for the holidays, later finding out that those checks have bounced. Now they were short of the amount of gifts and stuff to donate than they expected. Guys, it's the holidays! If someone is going to donate money that isn't going to help, why bother donating at all?
