3. What is the political cartoon on Page A9 by Dan Wasserman from the Washington Globe trying to tell is, in your opinion?

I think, in a way, the message on the graves is trying to get through to the people who still don't see what is going on in our society. Some people still are blind and not believing this was a purpose shooting so the graves are sort of… speaking that message out. Or maybe it's a want for justice?

5. What is the number 1 movie in the country this week? Have you seen it? Do you want to go see it? Page D2

Furious 7 was the number one again this week and I have not seen it. I don't plan on seeing it either because I'm not a fan of these movies.

Short Answer:

Gosh, I honestly do not trust technology. Voting is a serious, private matter and the way hackers can track and get into different accounts… It just makes me nervous. I don't believe it should continue even though it is faster and, in my opinion, lazier. But I know there are some people who are incapable of making it to voting booths. Over email though? Nah, I think we can do without it.
