I would probably get in trouble for that one even if it is cool.

Just out of curiosity, is there some reason that bettween last night and this morning you didn't just go find two articles yourself? Perhaps from the Google News page I linked?

Hard for us to help you then. The only requirement you mentioned here is that it not be about the election. There are plenty of articles not about the election on Google news at any given time.

Im sorry for being hard to help I am just really stressed. What I need to be able to do is judge morals and worldview on it.

Relying on the the GitP forums as your personal homework army is probably not the best way of going about things ...

I can't help but agree here. I was attempting not to be snippy about it and be helpful, but I was able to find those two articles on Google News in less than 5 mins. Relying on the kindness of the Playground for this kind of thing is a bad idea, not only because being (I'm guessing) still in highschool you should be acquiring these skills yourself but because you won't always find a soft touch like myself to help you out.

the assignment isn't finding the artical it's reading it and judeging morals and worldview on it.
