Recently Charlie Sheen starts a charity to raise money for a baseball fan who was critically injured in an attack after a Los Angeles Dodgers game. The man has been in a medically induced coma for the past month. Sheen will donate profits to the man from merchandise sales at his stage show in San Francisco.

I think its really generous for sheen to start a charity for one man. The past month the news has been talking about how bad a person and father charlie sheen is yet he donates thousands of dollars every year to charities and starts his own charities.

Recently Conon O Brian and several other comedians joined together in an effort to raise $750,000 to end deaths by malaria in Africa. It was called the Comedy Fights Malaria Campaign. They were banning together to raise awareness of a disease that kills over 800,000 people yearly in Africa.

I think its cool what the comedians are doing. There using there humor for a good cause and there raising awareness of a devastating disease. They are also attracting the attention of a whole new crowd of people.

Recently a registered sex offender joined Desert Highschool in Yucca Valley California. Many parents are upset over this because of the nature of his crimes. He was convicted for assaulting girls 6 to 15 years old. The school has taken precautions making it to where he would be followed by school staff throughout his day. There also trying to make him take his classes away from the other students. I dont think sex offenders should be allowed at a school with other kids. He is a threat to the students around him and therfore should not be allowed to attend classes with them. I think he should just be homeschooled because he is a danger.

week after spring break

The city of Grand Junction, Colorado recently passed an ordinance banning all marijuana dispensaries in the area. This has caused an uproar in the city due to the fact that people with diseases that qualify them for medical marijuana are now unable to obtain their "medicine." They will now be forced to get their medicine off the street forcing them to partake in illegal activity just to obtain their medicine. I think this is very wrong. Marijuana is a medicine that helps treat the symptoms of alot of diseases such as cancer and chrons disease. I thinks it's wrong to take away medical marijuana from the people who relied on it to cope with their diseases. I think that the city should make a deal with the customers of the dispensaries to where they will be able to obtain their medicine through alternative yet legal ways.
