Illiteracy Is A Real Problem

I just saw the most embarrassing thing on television and of all places, I saw it on CNN. So there was this case about a teenager predator and the results of the trial was being faxed to the plaintiffs. The two plaintiffs were, I think, the mothers of the victim and when they read the fax they were so happy. One of them started shouting "We won! We won!" over and over again so everybody in the room was celebrating with her. After a few seconds, their lawyer read the fax and he read it aloud. The paper said " The charges are considered Null and void." Apparently, the two women didn't understand what null and void meant. After hearing him say that, I was so sorry for the women and so embarrassed that I couldn't watch their reaction so I changed the channel right away. I could only imagine what they were gonna do after the lawyer explains to them that they actually lost. How embarrassing was that and why did CNN have to show it on National TV? They're really mean, aren't they? I wish someone had seen that too and posted it on youtube. I wanted you guys to see it.

P.S.

I found this video of Corinne Bailey Rae. It's her first single called Like A Star.


I really want you to hear it and tell me what you think. If you don't want to watch the video, the song is the second song in the playlist on my blog. If you haven't seen where it is yet, it's in the bottom of the page. Just select the song. Tell me what you think of her.
