It's not the smartphones to blame, it's the jackasses who have taken over the CB, flooding it with their immaturity. I turned mine off years ago, sigh.

Hope they don't send you to a certain mall in Pittsburgh, where you can't see a dock when you turn into the drive. You see a store dead ahead, a parking garage with a 7 ft clearance to the left, and a parking lot studded with islands [to keep big trucks out] to the right. And as you peruse...

Makes me wonder how many moms [and dads] didn't get honored for their actions, because nobody caught it on film, because they kept their offspring away from the trouble?

I'm no fan of Hillary, but WTH? It's not a freaking beauty contest!

Um, don't the Koch Bros have a lot [and in their world ," a lot" runs to bazillions] invested in various oil industries?

Neither is abuse of authority, and the people rioting have suffered a great deal more of that, and for a much longer time, than their outburst of anarchy. As to damages, how many looted businesses and/or burned vehicles equal thousands of people feeling they have nothing to lose? BTW: the...

I've seen a speed limit changed in Ohio twice, to placate residents: first, when a teen boy rolled his car & died going way above the posted limit of 35 on a curve, his [locally influential] mother campaigned to have the limit reduced to 25, and it was. The second was when trucks avoided the...

It's always a toss up for me, between the other stories and the readers' comments [I don't see the ads] on those right wing sites, both are hilarious. And scary.

I was really excited to deliver [to the X Games] in Aspen a few years ago, until I found the one way out to the east was closed for 3 days. Glad you had better luck, lol, this time of year is still 'iffy' in Colorado.

The comment "the safest roadway is when you can get 85% of people driving about the same speed" is spot on. Drivers who go faster engage in increased lane changing, while those who drive slower cause increased lane changing among drivers behind them. Both increase odds of a collision...

Rubbish! Anyone who is a target of the police is going to react in some negative way, sooner or later. They will reach a point where polite compliance is no longer possible, and then, "resisting arrest" [or just running away] is inevitable. Whether it's about harassment, excessive taxation, or...

Wrong is the belief that a fetus is a baby, person, "other being", or anything other than a potential human being. Anyone has the prerogative to wrongly believe whatever they like, but they have no right to impose that belief upon anyone else. It's only a "tired old argument" because of the...

Another plus for Audible - the readers are pros [last one I listened to was read by Lynn Redgrave, who was excellent], but there are reviews by listeners that warn you off the few that don't measure up.

The biggest advantage to the mp3 player is that it goes along when I'm out of the truck, and the battery lasts way longer than the phone. I get free Kindle books, but Audible is a small luxury that's worth the cost. [Less than $20/month] If you find the book "Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld...

When people understand the meaning of the word 'potential', everything changes.

Absolutely agree - except I use Audible and an mp3 player, because I don't want to use the cellphone. And I'm a very picky reader, lol.

I'm still looking for the wheel chock - I know there's one in there somewhere, lol. :D

My kids blamed The Republicans object because healthy foods cost more - why am I not surprised? Do they have a clue what childhood obesity costs, now and later? Kids blame Michelle because the adults told them it's her fault. These are the same adults who can't manage to make healthy food...

Social issues determine whom the GOP will nominate only because the far right fringe has inordinate power within that closed group. Once nominated, maintaining such far right views guarantees a Democratic victory. . Conservatives cannot "get the society right", because the society has its' own...

Spending money based on having money left after the bills are paid would really instill confidence in the American public - otherwise, it's known as check fraud.
