Al Gore

I think that we has people who live on this world really need to take a listen as to what Al Gore is trying to say. He is a respectable person in the country and you can clearly tell that global warming is of great concern to him. As should it be to all of us. The "inconvenient truth" about the world is not only are many countries in war right now, but as a whole we are in danger. The CO2 is raising and is burning our atmosphere, which can cause great danger to our planet. Not only are we dumping waste less CO2 into the air but we are cutting down trees in mass quantities that it just making matter a whole lot worse. Al Gore tells us, with scientific proof that if we don't start to act now that the world will undergo greater catastrophes than hurricane Katrina. we will experience them all over in the Atlantic, and the Pacific. Al Gore believes that people are failing to listen to these warnings because they think that there is no way that anything could happen to the earth in our generation. People think that it would take for ever for us humans to complete ruin the ozone layer, have the earth fry, ice caps melt, and have it be the end of the world. And although they are probably right, it won't happen in our life time, we should all try and think about the future and what we are doing to harm it. I know that i do not want my children, or even my children's children,dealing with something as horrible has hurricane Katrina or things even worse.

Where Am I Really From?

I think that the testing is really neat. For many years whenever some one asks what ethnicity I am I usually say half Cuban, half mutt. I know that my grand parents came over from Cuba, and that my mom was born here. My dad basically says that he is Italian, Irish, German, and basically everything else from Europe. But I have always wondered exactly what he is, and how much I truly am Cuban. I think that this testing is a really cool thing because he helps people find out where they really came from. I also think that it can, I don’t want to say hurtful, but I guess shocking would be a better word. Say for example me, my whole life I have been telling people that I am half Cuban, if I found out that I was anything less than that, I would be upset. It would be very interesting to know but I would be upset because I enjoy the reaction that I get from people when I tell them that I’m Cuban. DNA testing is something that I would like to do because it would finally help me know where I truly come from.
