Three thoughts
Since I did not write yesterday due to illness, today I will cover three different things.
First is about cities and states creating laws about texting and driving. This just seems like wasted law making time, but has to be done. When did people get to be so idiotic as to think they should do this? I mean over the years insurance companies and others have done studies showing how distracted drivers are more likely to have a wreck. Do you not think this is a distraction? When did we decide that we had to be able to be reached at every moment of our life? Are people afraid to be alone with their own thoughts? I enjoy driving most of the time because I can think and be by myself. This is where I figure my life out, but then that may be what’s wrong with the world.
Second thing. They are discovering that Boy Scout leaders have been molesting boys. Does this come as a surprise to anyone? Any time you have an adult in a leadership role over children you run the chance of molestation. I remember a few years (well more than a few) ago when they would not let Gay men be leaders. Maybe if they had they would have had less abusers. But let’s face it many straight, conservative, religious right people get homosexuality and pedophile mixed up. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
Third thing. For once I can say I am proud of my home state of Georgia. Although let me say I am very surprised. A small town in middle Georgia is allowing a gay boy to bring his date to the prom. I would just like to say, WOW.

The USDA Forest Service has decided that we can not use our cell phone while driving. This of course includes textsing.
