I
have the best of both worlds. That's one of
the good things of being of a different ethnic
group than where you live. |

| Katy's
family, like many in Mexico, immigrated to
the United States for better jobs. |

I
saw the pictures and I feel very bad. Then
in the evening, one of my aunts called my
dad and said, "Your cousins in Burma, their
families are hurt and their houses are broken
and they have to build new ones." |

| A
cyclone hit Myanmar, detroying villages and
leaving 78,000 dead. |

We
can become doctors, nurses, computer technicians,
anything we want. But did they really tell
us the dangerous side of the army over all
the loud music?  |

| Military
recruiters used music and free stuff to attract
students at her school. |

Ethanol
production is not enough to provide jobs for
Iowans. It is not enough to prevent climate
change. It is not truly helping our environment. |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Ethanol
produced from corn is hailed by some as a
fix-all fuel. |
