1. How much more money could it cost Travis County drivers to register their car next year? Page A1 "Twin bills would pay..."
It will be an increase of $20
2. How much does a cubic foot of snow weigh? How much does a cubic foot of ice weigh? Why is this important? Page A2 "New England roofs fail..."
One cubic foot of snow weighs 8 pounds and a cubic foot of ice weighs 64 pounds. This is important because if the snow that is on those people's roofs becomes ice it could cause major problems with collapsing houses under the weight of the snow and ice and is extremely dangerous.
3. What is the political cartoon by Dana Summers on page A11 trying to say, in your opinion?I think the political cartoon is trying to say that it would not be smart for us to put troops to fight Isis because that is exactly what they want and they are just looking to kill our soldiers and can do it easily.
4. What are some of the objects that Maureen Gilman added to her garden to give it more of a "family" feel? Page SA3 "Artifacts added to..."
She added artifacts from her family's history to give her garden a more family feel.
5.  What was the primary mode of advertising for music clubs in Austin's past AND which of the 8 pictured was your favorite? Page D1 (Austin 360) "Homegrown"
The primary moe of advertising for music clubs in Austin's past is that they created posters and posted them around town to get people to know about their band or club. My favorite is the first one on the top left because it is really colorful and has a cool font.
Short Answer:

The lead story in the Statesman today is about same-sex marriage. Please read the first part of the story on Page 1, if you want to read the entire story please do, but you don't need it to answer the question below.

What do you think about same-sex marriage? Should it be legal? Should a man be able to marry another man, or a woman to marry another woman? WHY or WHY NOT?
I don't believe in same sex marriage because we were created to be together, man and woman and even if some people have those feelings, I don't think it is right or ethical. I don't think it should be legal because even though it is their lives and their choices, it is not how we were created to be and the only natural way to be together is man and woman. I think that there are genetic things that are components and people are born with these feelings, but it is a lifestyle choice and they chose that way of life for themselves.
