Social Awarness Topic. There were some concerns on some jamming on M4s and restricting plastic straps on soldiers' rucksacks kicked up some pretty interesting comments. Mike says "Don't totally blame the military on this one, most of the blame is on the congress and how they fund the military."And commenter Adam wonders if the Pentagon's focus on larger weapons such as "$2 billion each for a B-2, $300 million for an F-22" has distracted from funding troops on the ground. Meanwhile, David states that ". Some people say that M4s are fine combat weapons. But soldiers will always complain about something.

Political Current Event.

=Democrats push to pass health care by Christmas.=

All 58 Democrats and the Senate's two independents kept together Barack Obamas health care overhaul which means that would extend coverage to 30 million people now uninsured and try to slow ruinous increases in medical costs.Obama called the vote "a big victory for the American people," and challenged critics who say it will increase, not reduce costs. Monday's Senate vote came really shortly after 1 a.m. with the nation's capital covered in snow, the unusual timing made necessary in order to get to a final vote by Christmas Eve presuming Republicans stretch out the debate as much as the rules allow.

How stuff works, Making Double Bubble Gum. It starts with a gum base, the stuff that makes it chewing. Today they are made by rubbers and plastics with added flavors. Then it gets mixed into a sweetner stirrer. Next they add extra a sweetner. The mixture is then ready when it reaches the consitantsey and is transported by cart to a machine that will squeeze the huge wad of gum into strips. Then it will come out as long strips which will be cut later. The process heats up the gum so the next stop is cooler chambire which is from 37 to 47 degrees farenhiet. when it comes out it is cooled enough it is brought somewhere while the Wrapper is being cut. It is cut by half a second. the gum enters the wrapper and a machine twist the two sides of the wrapper. Then the gum shipped to a store. That is how double bubble gum is made.
