In the article Former Aspen police officer faces alcohol charge what matter is keeping people safe and obeying the law. The article talks about an 18-year veteran of the Aspen Police Department who showed up to work and got fired. I don't understand why the cop would just throw his life away and lose his job. He was driving drunk and using his weapon when he got arrested and the next day he was fired.

In the article HARD AT WORK by the Nata village blog, it talks about how children have to start working at a young age so they will be working the rest of their life and they will be good at it. This matters to me because children in America can take their lives for granted. Some kids complain when they have to do chores, but in Botswana kids have to do things such as collecting water from the stand pipe to mix with sand and making mud bricks for their adobe homes.
