New York Times: Monday, October 24, 2011

The story about the horse slaughtering certainly opened my eyes to the whole debate.  I was completely unaware that it was illegal to slaughter and sell horse meet in the U.S.  However it seems like people that are against the slaughter of horses don't understand that keeping them from being killed for food is making their lives more miserable.  Now, the reader obviously doesn't know this for sure, but that's what the article seems to be saying.

In almost every article of the times, there seems to be some story about Apple.  That company has grown so much in the past few years, and I don't think a lot of people really realize that it's competition is dwindling.  I have no doubt that Amazon's Kindle Fire will give the iPad a run for its money, but there really isn't anything else out there that can compete.  This story perfectly shows how powerful the company has grown.
