Man Wrongfully accused of a crime recieves compensation.
A Texas man that was accused and imprisoned for almost 2 decades for the murder of 5 children and their grandomther recieved $1.4 million in compensation. He met with the Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. Grave's said he is grateful for the money but it doesnt make up for his time spent in prison.
I can't believe what happened to this man. I agree with him totally $1.4 million is great but it doesn't give him back the freedom he should've had.

Our air isnt safe
America's Polluted Air
It's sad to think how polluted the air has gotten since our grandparents were children. Its even worse to think about our grandchildren and how bad the environment will be for their future. I think its crazy how people that don't even smoke cigarettes can walk outside for less than 10 minutes and basically could get the same lungs as a smoker. And of course the price of something is always going to go up on something, in this case health care costs are effected.
