Warning Shot

In the past couple of days tension between North and South Korea has risen. there have been shot fired from both sides. Yesterday South Korea fired warning shots at a North Korean fishing boat. This boat  had drifted to close to the boarder so the South Koreans fired. 10 total shots were fired at the boat all of them were warning shot not intended to hit the boat. The North Koreans do not like to follow the boarder laws because they feel that area is theirs.

I think that North and South Korea should work out some of their problems so it doesn't come down to shooting a simple fishing boat. This could cause many problems in the future and they should work out some of the problems. I know the North is controlled by a crazy leader but someone needs to take control over there.

Republicans in the house

With the new elections taking place the republicans are in a good position to take a the majority of the seats in the House of Representatives. At first it looked as if the democrats would hold control of the house but by the end of the day all the projections say that the republicans will win enough seats to gain control of the the House. By 10:30, thirteen of the thirty nine seats they needed to take control in the House had already been won.

I think that this is a good thing. now that we have had democrats in the house for a few years our         country is switching views and becoming more republican again. this could help make this easier for the republicans to get their views across in the house. hopefully they will work together to help solve some of the issues that we have as a country today.
