Thing #7c - More from my Reader

Oh how glad I am to live in the United States. As I look at the Teacher Dude's Grill and BBQ and the chaos that is going on in Athens over the death of 15 year old. Pictures of rioting and tear gas being shot into a local university make me appreciate the country that I live in. It is not perfect, as nothing is, but it allows us the freedoms that too many Americans take for granted. I wish I could get this across to my students as they complain about petty things that happen to them through out the day. Reading up on events that happen in other countries makes me proud to be an American.
