In the article "Commerce City golf course taking aim at geese" by Howard Pankratz what matters is that people are trying to get rid of animals in a Non-Human ways. The golf course is setting off things that make loud nosies and say that they are non harmful but what if one the geese walked over one and when it exploded and harmed the geese. I think that there is a better way to get rid of the geese with out possible hurting them. Also the government should have gone in and researched this to make sure that it is not harmful. Plus company's that do this should have to get clearance form the government first so that they are not doing anything illegal.

In the article "Put Forth our best Writing selves" by Douglas Hesse the main point is that writing is becoming more popular because people can express them selves through it.

In the article " Fort Carson solider arrested for allegedly firing gun at people outside bar" by Maria St. Louis-Shancez what matters is that a man trusted by the US government tried to kill someone. The fact that this man was in the army, navy, or marines he thinks he can fire a gun at civilized people which is against the law and this man should know his laws very well. The man should be severely fined and punished for his actions in the act of almost killing a citizen. This is very scary to think that someone that was hired to protect our country almost killed someone. He had also had felony's in the past which i think that the government should take more precautions, so that people will not do this and not hire people that have had criminal records.

In the article "CO health board backs off medical marijuana rule" by Ivan Moreno what matters is that the government is putting laws down as to who can sell marijuana for medical reasons. After these laws were written the health board said that it is a good idea because it will be harder for patients to obtain marijuana for their medical purposes. Some people do not agree with this policy and think that it is very wrong because the fact that people may really need it butmay not be able to. Others think it is a good idea and it may help with marijuana addictions or people buying it and saying that theyhave medical issues. I personal think that it is a good policy because it will make it harder for people to obtain marijuana that they may not actually need.

In the article "Boulder high schoolers mix it up over a marijuana deal gone bad" by Howard Pankratz what matters is that high schoolers are getting involved in illegal drugs. Also that they want it so bad that they will get in a fight because they cant get it. Police say that the dealer put the buyer in a choke hold until he gave him his money. So this goes to show that all drugs involve are violence and cheating people out of there money. I think that this is something that needs to be fixed becasue these kids are risking there lives to get the drugs and also with the drugs. This is an issue that needs to be solved or more and more of our teens will die from it.

In the article "Pitkin investigating booby trap left on trail for bicyclists" by an anomuse writer of The Denver Post what matters is that someone tried to hurt people that were bicycling and trying to have fun. This is scary that someone is trying to choke someone for what ever reason and really hurt someone. Luckily two people found it before someone got hurt cops have looked into it and are going to press charges if they can find the person who did it. Another thing to consider is that what if someone triggered this and had a baby with them or a young child and both of them died. I think that this is a vile act and if these people get caught they should faceserious cahrges for it.

In the article " Secertery at Denver charged in duct taping of boy" by Joey Bunch what matters is that teachers are resorting to abuse because of the child's behavior in class. The mom of the child agreed with the charges ans hopes that the school district will learn from it. Also what matters is that schools are hiring such people that will resort to abuse when angry. I think that it is important that teachers can control their angry and not take it out on their students.
