SUMMARY:

On Wednesday, Octocer 26, 2011, a man by the name of Ramdat Punwassie, discovered a python in his toilet in his apartment near Jane and St. Clair Avenue West. The man has claimed not to be scared by this slithery surprise. Not too long before this incident occured, a corn snake was discovered in somebody else´s apartment in the same area. Both snake are non-poison and have been collected by animal control. 


REFLECTION: 

If this happened to me, I would surely have been terrified! Not because I dislike snakes, but because this is clearly not conventional that you´d find a snake in your toilet. But I´d call animal control and have this dilemma dealt with.

What Should Nelly Furtado Do With $1Million Gadhafi Paid Her ?

I think Nelly Furtado did the correct thing by giving the money that the Gadhafi clan had paid her for a private performance in Italy back in 2007. It is understood thatg it was wrong for Gadhafi´s family, Libya´s former ruling family, to pay for her with the money of the Libyan people. But on the other hand, Ms. Furtado is a performer, and earns a living by entertaining an audience. The audience pays for that service. Where the money originally came from was not where it should have came from, but to Gadhafi, he was in charge, and he could do whatever he pleased with his countries money.  A good leader would not have done that and he/she would think about what he does and the consequences it will have on their country. 

The polemic is : was it right for Furtado to give the money to charity, or should she have given it back to Libya as it was the peoples money? Furtado, like a regular person, works and is paid. They usually have a plan to where their paychecks go. Some choose to buy useful things, or put it into savings, others may just splurge on a whole new wardrobe. It was Nelly´s earned paycheck and as soon as she was going to do with it. Unlike other celebrities that were also payed $1 million to perform for the Gadhafi clan, as soon as they heard about the connection, they donated it so they didn´t look bad fro taking the people´s money. But at the end of the day, it´s her money and she could do what she pleases with it and I think that it was very wise for her to make this excellent use of it.
