Monday: On Monday there was a story about the number of people from Minnesota being contaminated with all the bad food that has been sent our way in the past year. Peanuts and peppers come to mind instantly, and I wondered how many people (if any) suffered from the contamination in New Hampshire or New England. I hadn't heard any specific numbers besides the "x people have been contaminated in the United States" numbers.
Tuesday: The story about Philip Markoff got me today. It just goes to show how dangerous the internet can be. My parents now avidly use craigslist to sell unwanted possessions and farm animals, but it's still scary to think there are predators out there on the internet, and Markoff was closer than anyone could have expected.
Wednesday: I decided to write about the Somali man being brought to the United States to face piracy charges. In a time in which no one thinks of pirates, this is quite interesting to me. This comes after the attack on the American ship and the increased activity of the Somali pirates.
Thursday: To finish the week I decided to include the story about the Taliban moving closer to the capital. With all that's going on in the world, it's easy to forget that innocent people are being killed while dangerous villains still walk the earth. This story is a big reminder of the threat the Taliban still pose to the troops overseas and the power that they still have.
