After 85 days, BP finally put a cap on the oil well so that it isn't leaking. There is still a lot of dead wildlife, and a lot of sick wildlife. There are tar balls on the beaches near where my parents live in the winter. And the fishing and shrimping industries in the Gulf of Mexico are ruined for years. But provided that the cap holds, at least now there won't be any more oil leaking into the Gulf.

Here in South Africa it was the Soccer World Cup of course, now it is over and all back to normal again. Hopefully we can host the Olympics one day!

Argentina voted yes on gay marriage law! O.o ----------------------- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Argentina are the most advanced in South America since Argentina legalised same-sex marriage. On 15 July 2010, Argentina legalised same-sex marriage, including full adoption rights, the first country in Latin America and the tenth in the world to do so.
