City

At school the teachers in fifth grade do something called city.You can become the mayor,vice mayor,judge,city council,or you can make your own shop.My shop is a chip shop.Basically we sell real stuff to get fake money.We also pay tax and mortgage.Tax is 10percent of what you earned.Docters earn tons of money.That is why I think it is unfair.

Roanoke Island

My teacher told me about a person who tried to make a settlement in Roanoke Island.I do not remember his name.This person tried to make a settlement and failed.He failed because the island barely had any food to support the settlers.This same person went back to England to get more food and supplies.Sadly he had to wait for World War1 to end.Three years later he went back to Roanoke Island.When he got there the place was deserted.The only hint was a carving that wrote as Croatian.There were no bones,cemetaries,and graveyards.The way they disappeared is still unknown.The settlers could of been attacked by the Spanish,attacked by the Croatian Indians,or they could have lived with the Croatian Indians.

Mark Sanford plans to reject stimulus millions

Mark Sanford has been the leading voice among Republican governors who have criticized President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus plan as a pork-laden boondoggle that will plunge the country further into debt. It's won him praise from many conservatives and boosted his national profile, fueling speculation he will run for president in 2012.Sanford says he will also reject those funds, but he has threatened to go much further, requesting a waiver to spend some $700 million targeted for education and other programs to pay down some of the state's debt instead."I would hope the various leaders of this state would spend as much time and energy finding ways to bring relief to South Carolina's families rather than looking for creative ways to get around the federal help that has been made available and that other states are using very effectively," he said.Mark Sanford was so stupid to reject jobs and other stuff he propably does not even know how it feels like.
