We went over the Latin American maps.We watched a video over some clips from 9/11 of people talking in the plane as the hijacking was happening. Atta said everything was ok, but it was a lie and then the North tower was hit 22 minutes later. The air traffic controller couldn't find flight United 93 and then they did and they were screaming that they were all going to die. Then minutes later they crashed in the field.Then we watched Mayor Bloomberg talk about the 9/11 attack and how on the anniversary terrorists usually take this as an advantage to strike again. The police will be out more and more. If we see something, we should say something. Go about your daily life and don't be intimidated. There haven't been threats, but there probably will be.After Mayor B. we watched some of Obama's speech over American Jobs.Tax cuts to help small business', if you do that then business' will be able to hire more people and that is a good thing! This helps everyone keep jobs or get jobs by building up infrastructure.Tax cuts for individual people and families. It provides a tax cut to the typical American family.Michelle Bachmann was not happy with his plan...and she says we tried it before, and spent a 1/2 million dollars and she is saying we are going to do it again and hope it works? She doesn't want the plan to pass.We went back to the power point.Swaziland has the lowest life expectancy at 31.38 years. Then it is Angola at 38.2, Zambia 38.63, Lesotho 40.38, and Mozmbique 41.18. Haiti was not one of the lowest. The top five countries are Monaco is 89.73 years. Then Macau 84.41, San Marino 83.01, Andorra 82.43, and Japan 82.25. End of class.
