The Emerging Police State
We all worried when the Patriot Act came into action, Habeus Corpus was suspended, and prisoners were held for years with no charge and no legal representation. Now DCist reports that the DCPD, in response to rising violence in the city, is creating Checkpoints at the entrance to the worst neighborhoods, where all people are stopped, questioned, and arrested if they don't comply.
This climber Alain Robert climbed the New York Times building, all 52 stories of it, with no rope yesterday to bring attention to global climate change. This is his website: http://thesolutionissimple.org/
My name is Max. I was born and raised in Seattle, WA. I am a student at Western Washington University studying Environmental Science Journalism. I am specifically interested in photography. I am really into the outdoors and exploring the places that I find myself in, which sometimes makes for good stories!
"Three Among the Wolves" by Helen Thayer. This is a story of a couple and their half wolf, half husky dog who trek into the wild alaskan tundra. There they slowly work themselves into the confidence of the local wolf pack, and spend the entire summer living a stones throw from the pack's den. Amazing story.
