Kristen Byrnes, a 15-year-old who lives in Portland, Maine, has delivered some shocking news striking a ray of hope for us who thought the world was doomed.

Young Kristen wrote a great thesis that which took her 4 months to compile for extra credit in her Honors Earth Sciences class. Meanwhile, she also maintained an average of 4.0 in all of her other Honors classes.

Her family is highly proud of her and so are many other for her efforts in compiling her information into an neutral note.

Kristen had a great way of analysing things. This particular story was, by the way, compiled after watching Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

This girl has a great talent and should be appreciated for this skill she has.

Paris- The Olympics torch is alleged to have been put out by authorities due to the threat by Tibetans and those supporting the cause of Tibetans.

From a neutral point of view, I personally feel that the Chinese have been very cruel to the people of Tibet. I seriously do not see why the authorities dont see how the world sees it? Rather than taking a monopolist approach to make the decisions to this cause.

What China is doing is only cruelty and other countries like India, though trying to take a neutral stand, have to be biased to the Chinese side to avoid further political problems between them.

India seems to have enough problems already.
