Law Loosened

     The state of Michigan might change the law regarding items hanging from rearview mirrors and allow small objects to dangle. Many people are unaware that this law even exists and policemen do not enforce it.

      "Unless it's large and an obvious obstruction, it's just silly for police to pull somebody over for that. People aren't hurting anybody and they're not causing any danger." I like this quote because he makes a good point in saying it's not hurting anyone to hang a small object from your rearview mirror. Police should worry more about distractions such as texting or putting on makeup while driving because these actions are very dangerous and more likely to cause crashes than simply having something dangle from your rearview mirror. 

     I agree with this ban because I was unaware that this law even existed, until I read this article, and feel that if Michigan has that law they should make sure people know about it and enforce it. Also I see no harm in hanging prayer beads, or whatever it may be, from your rearview mirror.

It's not always about race

    Mitch Albom wrote this article about Lebron James to point out that reporters should not ask the question regarding whether race played a role in certain decisions. I agree with Albom and think he makes a very good point about the fact that race does not come up when good things happen like James being voted MVP, but as soon as something goes wrong ,whether or not race had a role in why it happend, is the first question asked. Albom also makes a good point about James' big ego. Race disregarded, anyone who makes a TV special about deciding to switch teams and phrases their choice in the way James did, has a very big ego. Albom concludes by saying Lebron's ratings have drastically dropped. This is not due solely to white people disliking him, in the same way that his popularity was not just black fans. I agree that the question about race should not be brought up when it does not have to be.
