Wow. There were a lot of stories in the paper today that were informative even though the paper was small today. There was a lot on politics especially in other countries. The politics in other countries mostly related to the United States and Obama's stimulus plan. Other stories were just basically on various political news. As for international news the talk of the town is the swine virus which has been scaring everyone since this past weekend when the news released. I am scared because UNH is having a study abroad program in Mexico starting in May and I am going so I am not sure it will get cancelled. Hopefully it will be cleared up in the next few weeks. It has been spreading to the United States. When I looked at the locations of the numbered cases, the cases were in random states. The Times said that the virus was transported from people who have been to Mexico and went back to the states. I don't know about Mexico but the US is pretty good at clearing up infections so it won't get worse or lead to some kind of epidemic. And we thought the basic flu floating around campus and the US was an epidemic, but apparently people are dying from this infection. It is fatal.
In NY a reverend was upset about the decision to allow same sex marriage and shared his views on it. His quotes were comical, but many people who are against gay marriages will speaking out about it trying to fight it. It is a never ending battle.
