Texting While Driving Can Be A Killer

September 3rd, 2009 by Thaddeus

C u soon, ttyl, lol, are all phrases that we are familiar with especially in today’s society where text messaging consumes a lot of our phone use.  In the past year or so, there has been a growing concern about texting and talking while driving.  Unfortunately we still here about accidents and I even see people texting and talking while on the road.  The Toronto Star published an article about this very popular YouTube video that a british police department created to turn kids away from texting while driving.  After watching it I was completely in shock and don’t plan on texting while driving anytime soon.  Regardless of if you’re in Britain or in Canada, texting while driving can be one of the most dangerous things you can do.  I know your phone is more important then your wallet or even food, but please check out this video and think the next time you decide to text while you are driving. If it is an emergency or time sensitive just pull over to the side of the road. Please. The video is a bit graphic but nothing from a Quentin Tarantino movie. Comments are always appreciated…I would love to here your thoughts.

This time I am not kidding.

Would Someone Please Think of the Wealthy?

July 17th, 2009 by D.J.
It is a safe assumption this man is rich

I can only assume that this man is rich

When I think of the recession, the first images that pop into my head are those of laid-off laborers exiting the auto plant, small businesses boarding up their doors, and other variations on the theme of the struggling middle class citizen. But there is one important group that I consistently neglect: rich people.

So today I pose the question, “How are rich people holding up in the recession?“ (more…)
