This morning I read a story in the news about Jesse Jackson being arrested due to a protest against a gun shop. Bair Holt, a 16 year old, honor student was killed by gang members accidentally shooting the wrong person. Apparently, Jesse Jackson sees the location of this gunshop as an easy access place for guns to be purchased and used in this Chicago neighborhood. The problem happened when I tried to post about this story. Because I was extremely sleepy, it came out as if I were saying that Jesse Jackson had been arrested for the murder of the sixteen year old. Thank God, I proof read it, before sending the information. I took Journalisn in college and a mastake of this type, would surely cost me my job at any newspaper or anywhere else. Jesse Jackson himself would sue me. Tell me about some of the times you have wanted to delete a major boo boo on Mylot, but knew that you couldn't.

No, but I am using this site as a way of practicing my writing. When I was in college, I wrote for the school paper, but the teacher did all of my editing.
