Dear Sr David Cameron,

I am friends with the McKinney family that lost their son in a sunday that seemed normal but turned out to be very bloody, I'm talking about the "Bloody Sunday". William McKinney was shot dad by the paratroopers. I had the chance to meet Willie and he was a very nice kid, he was studying to become a lawyer but he's career was cut short by this in excusable event and many others lives where taken with no reason at all and this is over the unacceptable.

Im particularly concerned about if you have thought about how the families felt when their innocent sons where killed by british soldiers which received no punishment at all, they even lied about what they did and what they didn't do, they just walked away free of punishment after taking or helping to take the lives of innocent protestants and even the lives of people who were walking close to where they randomly opened fire. Now more than thirty years from the "accident" the truth has finally been revealed, families are happy thats true but they have had to wait so much to only be able to say that their loved ones where innocent, thing that they already knew but that they couldn't confirm.  

I have seen how much the McKinney family has suffered and I believe that the other families that have lost someone too have had to live with this uncertainty about what will be the resolution of the report for more than thirty years I think the soldiers that were involved event should be punished and they should give a public apologies to the families of the ones they harmed or killed. This would be the minimal showing of respect for the families that lost someone on that day.

Yours Sincerely,

Vicente Carmona

BraveHeart Review

BraveHeart is an inspiring historical war movie that was directed and starred by Mel Gibson, this epic film gives a very real vision of how the world was 700 years ago and how the English treated their island companions, the scots. This movie is about a scot rebel named William Wallace that got his dad, brother and wife killed by the English, he seeks revenge and to free Scotland once and for all. With help of his friends and other clans he is able to free his home village and he later defeats part of the English northern army and he takes possession of a English castle shortly after, he starts becoming a "legend" all over the British isles, the princess of England falls in love with him and tries to "help" him in everything he does. He then gets betrayed by his Scottish allies and he loses an important battle where he almost loses his life too, he then goes through a lot of problems and he finally gets ambushed by English soldiers in a Scottish village and he sent to the English royal castle and he is later executed in public but his last word was not "please mercy" it was FREEEEDOM, when he says that you just get a chill and you can't believe that he is dead, this movie really keeps you thinking for at least a day and you just wish the movie would have not ended that way, movies that make you feel like this are the ones that stand up over others and that can be named awesome. I would totally recommend this movie to anyone that wants to learn a bit of history or just wants to have a good time and it will keep you stuck in the couch the whole 177 minutes of film and it will even keep you looking at the credits for hints of a second part or something. This movie totally deserves five stars and as much recognition as it can get because it's a real beastly production.

e-Petition | Soft Drink Machine

The soft drink machine is the most unreliable thing ever, sometimes it takes your money and gives you nothing other times it only has one type of soft drink, sometimes it doesn't even recognize your money and when this is not happening it's not even working. This has been going on since I arrived to the school, and nothing has ever been done about it, also when I was in 1st grade everything in the vending machine had the cost of 300 pesos but the price has doubled in only 7 years.

The drinks should be cheaper, the machine should be replaced for a new one that works well and they should include more soft drinks and water. Let's make this happen!
