Mexico to decriminalize small amounts of drugs, Canadian soldiers need driver training.

the mexican congress approved a bill today to decriminalize small amounts of pot, cocaine, ecstasy, and heroin, all that is left is for president vincente fox to sign the bill into law, which his office has indicated he will. the americans are afraid this new law will hamper their anti drug efforts and increase the number of vacationing students visiting mexico. the law also allows for small personal amounts of amphetamines, and up to two pounds of peyote which is a hallucinagen used in native american ceremonies.

president bush was asked today whether or not the american national anthem should be sung in spanish, mr. bush replied "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English." i agree with bush to an extent, people should learn to speak english if they want to live in the U.S., but if they can't speak english yet they should be allowed to sing their national anthem in spanish. the same goes for canada as far as im concerned, i have no problem with two vesions of 'o canada' but i don't think there needs to be two official languages. also mr. bush, although you are a great guy maybe you 'ought' to learn proper english before you require others to.

two canadian soldiers were injured in afganistan in a head collision between a UN sport utility vehicle and another coaltion vehicle while the UN vehicle was returning to kandahar from kabul. is it my imagination or are more of our soldiers getting injured and killed involving traffic accidents and roll overs than in fights with our enemies. maybe these guys need to take drivers ed again.
