The article about Horse breeders was interesting to read. It is no surprise to me that horse breeding is still not doing well. It is not a necessity. Wealthy people buy the horses for recreation, money is tight things like recreation are the first to go. An article that got me thinking was the one about the oil that is spilling out of a busted pipe near New Orleans. Right now people are thinking of getting rid of the oil through a controlled burn. I am no ecologist, but that plan seems like it has way too many things that can go wrong.An entertaining article that I read was about the Danish Little Mermaid statue being transported to China. The Statue is a national monument that has been around nearly 100 years. It is being transported to China by road, but the route was kept secret to avoid a possible attack. The statue was given to the Chinese as a sign of good faith by the Danish to pursue business ventures and to keep the friendship strong.
