3 Article Thingy

Article 1-

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7572303/mia-bad-girls-super-bowl-halftime-show-impossibility-selling-out

First to start, i feel like mia is entirely overrated but this article is completely biased. The arthus is talking as if she knows Mia personally. She needs to get her facts straight before she starts making internet sites discussing it. This article is interesting because i am a fan of music and have been listening to MIA for a couple of years and i found it funny that she sold out during this super bowl concert because she in my opinion is not good. In addition, this author brought out a side to the concert which i never thought about before which is very interesting. I would recommend this article to someone who loves to read because this is a pretty lengthy article which took up about 10 minuties of my life to read. I personally do not like to read but if you do , you would love this. This kind of clever paradox has always been fundamental to the idea of M.I.A. The fact that she didn't immediately fit into any ready-made categories lent her an air of opposition. She was a pop freedom fighter, uttering radical sayings and writing songs about pulling up the poor.

Article 2-

I'm not a big fan of nuclear. Noone has figured out how to safely store *any* of the spent fuel. People talk about long term storage, but noone has even tried to do it. If storage costs (or the long term health costs) are included then nuclear fuel is decidedly un-economic.Nuclear weapons are pretty nasty too, but if you don't have one, then it won't be too long till the Americans come and blanket your country with semi-Depleted Uranium like they did to Iraq, which is not better. Building a nuclear weapon is an ugly solution, but probably necessary. I'd be less concerned by nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iraqi state than in the hands of the Americans or the Israelis. This article brought out how important it is for america to stay out of forighn affir. Americca loes to get in everyones life an dmess it up whle we have plant of promblems in america as it is. also, I am an American. While I am not happy about any country possessing nuclear weapons, I am not sure there is much anyone can do to stop it. Iran claims it is not interested in a nuclear weapons program.while I would like them to find a less dangerous source of energy. with dwindling fossil fuels  alternative energy sources are a necessity.

Article 3-


I agree completely with this article, he is a very intelligent ball player and thats the best part of his game. I am very familiar with basketball and can connect to exactly what this article is saying. THis article is no way biased, it is all complete truth and is written based of statistics. I mean yes he can drive well, and yes he can hit the clutch 3 but his intelligence is of a seasoned veteran already, its scary to think of his veteran like ways when he's in his 30s with a few rings (hopefully). I am a Miami heat fan and have been for years (before LBJ and Bosh etc) so its not like I have a considerable like for jeremy Lin, but ye I'm aware of his talents on the floor. His turnovers will be cut down, but like norris call( a rookie), he's not afraid of failure and trying things. This will only make him a better player. If knicks had better defense, they would be a scary team, and I say scary because I am a miami heat fan. With defence, the Knicks could have a chance at beating the heat for the title run.
