Illegal to text while driving? How ridiculous!

What has this state come to? Some one has let our mothers take over legislature in Bismarck! It seems that these days, you no longer have the ability to decide for yourself if something could adversely affect your health. Our nations definition of "freedom" is narrowing. First they make it illegal to drive without wearing your seat belt, than they take away your ability to smoke in a public place, now they want to take away our ability to communicate with others via text message. this has gone too far. Bismarck state representatives have introduced legislation to ban "driving while texting." Offenders would have to pay a $100 fine and get a two-point driver's license penalty. Am I the only one that thinks this is a total violation of our rights? Maybe the people who like to find ways to control our lives should take a look at this pretty important document when going on their rampages. it seems like whenever a new technology is introduced the people that don't understand it, try to eliminate it from their worlds. good thing they haven't been introduced to the navigation systems found in today's newer vehicles! it is harder to pay attention to the road with one of these things compared to the few seconds it takes a person to type the average 50 characters per text message. So the morel of the day is, think things through and listen to both sides of a story before passing judgment. thank you and have a good day.

My first post as a blogger

I never thought i would give in, but i no longer have a choice! I am finally writing my first blog. There are so many people that i know that have blogs and that write on them religiously, now is my turn to see what all of the fuss is about! I am no realizing how hard it is to come up with something to write about, i have never been good with writing down my thoughts and ideas. I think that I am just going to write about what we did this week in my Public Relations class. I started off the week by creating a homepage on Blackboard which included some of my personal information and some of my favorite Internet links. I posted three links; www.pandora.com which is a radio that plays all of the users favorite music. www.gf.nd.gov is the North Dakota Game and Fish website which i visit often because has all kinds of information on outdoors. My third website was www.ebay.com which is a well known website for buying and selling just about anything. Hope everybody checks out my homepage on Blackboard to get the full scoop on me!
