We  heard a common theme in your responses to last week's blog post at cnn student news dot com.We've asked you what a president or governor should  consider when pardoning a criminal. From Aryanna  What needs to be reviewed is the severity of the crime.  The only people who should be let out are the ones who are not a threat to society.Ally says leaders should look at what the crime  was, what the criminal`s behavior was like, and how long they've been in  custody.  She adds, it sends a bad message of even if you are  convicted, you don't always have to pay the full penalty.Nicole asked, What if the criminals haven't changed?  What if they might do something like that again?And Ian adds that officials should consider whether the criminal can get a job or if he has a place to live and family support.Olivia suggests that governors look really hard at the criminal's background before giving him or her a pardon.And Will says if someone is convicted of a murder, then it would be the  smarter or common sense answer not to let them out of jail.All right.

This is a Lego convention.  Fans and builders came together for the  recent event.  Some of these creations are no joke.  One display uses  around half a million pieces, and is estimated to be worth $200,000.  For many Lego fans, the hobby began when they were kids.  They started off small, and then.
