I this article by Manny Gonzales of the denver post it talks about a shooting that happened downtown. Everyday we hear about somebody getting shot, but why the things people argue about today are pointless and get escalated for no reason. Why is it that people in the world today always seek violance to anwser any porblems they have. By the way this shootin that happened was over a parking spot! Imagine that you are pulling into a parking lot and you pull into a spot that someon else wants, ok nothing will happen. Now imagine the person who wanted that spot gets out of his car starts yelling and then pulls a gun and starts shooting. Thats a pretty strong action to take over a parking spot. How can things like this keep going on in the world around us. There are wars in countrys because they dont belive in the same religion, people get shot over one hundred dollars, many people every year are killed because they live a couple of blocks to the west. Yet with all the law enforcment and anti-gang units, people are still being killed over a hand signal being held up in the wrong place. It has escalated to the point that a closer parking spot to where youyr going is worth causeing bodily harm or potentialy killing. Everybody just needs to calm down take deep breaths and say to them selves "its just a parking spot."

Birth control in schools
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7334151 By Jeremy Meyer
This article in the Denver Post is about how some schools around the country and in Colorado want to make it easy to access birth control pills through your school. Wait what? Who thinks up something like that, who would think "hey if we need the number of teen pregnancies to go down why don't we just encourage teens to have more sex." To me this doesn't make sense at all and is just plain weird. Sure by giving these teens access to birth control will drop the number of teen pregs, but it also gives teens who are not active to get the right protection so that they can start . In my opinion I think that the parents should play a bigger part in this decision and have the final say whether this goes on in there child's school, or at least talk to there kids them selves and be a little more responsible. Its a lot different then every day decisions and parents I think need to really take things into consideration, because if somebody decides to call in sick and not go to work they can maybe get away with it or just get yelled at but if they don't take responsibility with there children then they have a angry pregnant 14 year old. So if the school chooses to do this then that's good for them but i still think that a parents role in the children's life will keep them safer then birth control
