Huge toxic algae bloom expected for Lake Erie

 

Over the past few weeks, our late rain season has played to a possible downfall of one of our great lakes. Due to the heavy rain that has been seen in the Lake Erie areas, fertilizers from the farmers’ fields have been washed into streams and directly into the like. Scientists believe that this extra chemical base can provide a perfect growing area for algae in the lake side areas. It is believed that this summer we will see a notable increase in the algae in the lake that will attribute to many problems for underwater life in the area. This tarp of toxic algae creates a cover over all underwater life, killing thousands of fish and other underwater residences.

We must understand that this is our fault, right? I mean, we do get it that we are the cause of so much destruction on this planet that there is no possible way we can blame anyone other than ourselves for this mess. People need to eat; government lets farmers use fertilizer to grow more food; fertilizer destroyers water source. It is not like we can blame one specific group of people for this mess. We don’t have officials going around to regulate the amount of fertilizer used by farmers and we don’t have 100% of all farmers using the legal amount of fertilizer. What we need to do is plan ahead of these events. If the long term forecast says that we are going to have heavy rain in and around Lake Erie, then ask farmers to use less fertilizer in that specific time period. If we continue to run around like we completely own the land we work on, the land we farm, the lakes we drink out of; then we are not going to survive very much longer.

North Korea's "Tower of doom"

North Korea has finally finished their so called “Tower of doom” A projected started in the late 80’s, but delayed in the early 90’s due to material and financial issues. Recently, the massive structure was completed but has yet to be open to the public. The estimated current cost of the building is around 2% of the nation’s GDP, or 750 million.

 

North Korea is just getting worse and worse… If it isn’t enough that they starve their citizens well paying off their military power, but they make stupid investments; such as this one towards products that will NEVER help their country. It almost seems like North Korea is trying to make the stupidest decisions before they end up going to war. That being said, this icon should help with the North Korean tourist service, if they ever end up getting tourists. And the income of the stay in this hotel should eventually pay itself off, if people in NK actually had money to spend. Overall; this was a very bad investment for North Korea in its current stance with the United Nations and with the world.

Boston Bombers, closing the gap

After this week’s tragic events, it should feel like a relief that we have finally found these suspected bombers. For all the families that have been changed and hurt by these men, it will be a true victory when we capture and execute these men. But until we do have both men, the hunt will continue. As of April 19^th, one of the suspected bombers has been killed by gunfire in a police shootout where a security Guard lost his life as well. Even more recently, the 2^nd bomber is suspected to be in a highly populated, but small section of Boston has been closed down to prevent the 2^nd bomber from escaping once again. This will eventually lead to one of two outcomes; the bomber dies from police and or self-inflicted wounds or he is taken into custody. With one of the two men already dead, it would not help anyone if the 2^nd bomber dies. Not only would it bring up more questions of why, but it would not give any closing to the victims of this violent attack.

 

This thing that we call a tragedy needs to be taken down a notch. Yes these men are awful people and yes they do deserve to die but this event has been scaled WAY out of proportion by the media. When you have 2.. 3 even 4 news outlets reporting on false information just to create a story, they are being more a pain then anything. Aside from false information made public by large news organizations, you have this whole topic being made into another 9/11 sob story. Everything is fine until the.. Oh geese… The Terrorists attack.. In other news,there was another massive explosion in Texas that killed some 35 people vs the 3 people that died in the Boston Marathon and I don’t seen the government going out of their way and spending all possible resources to find the cause of this explosion. So why is it that unless someone is immediately accountable to these horrific actions, that it will determine the amount of news coverage>The publicity it gets>The amount of time and energy the government will put into it.
