International:
Summary:
On Finland's west coast for the past 12 years something historic has been taking place: Air Guitar Championships. This year, 29 men and one woman from 17 different countries traveled to Finland's west coast to compete in the championship, hoping to be declared the champion!
Opinion:
I want to go. It would be fun. Imagine all the wonderful and interesting people you would meet while participating in something like that! It would be a lot of fun. That is my goal. To become the next Air Guitar Champion. Hey, every one's gotta have a dream

National:
Woodstock in the 60's meant a place to preach about peace while completely disengaging your mind from your body. Today, Bethel (Woodstock) is a rapidly growing town. some 10,000 people have a second home there, and escape their every day reality into a peaceful paradise. The town however is making a three-lot limit on subdivisions. The governor believes that the town needs to remain small and "catch its breath".
Opinion:
I think it is wonderful that something which symbolized peace back then can still represent a peace now, even if it is a different kind. We all need peace. There are different kinds, some unattainable, but every human longs for a sense of peace.

Air guitar, what next? Little short in your summary and opinion.

Woodstock--Bunch of smelly people, seeking the ideal socialist society.
