So it turns out that the California Highway Patrol had okayed the use of cell phones while driving based on faulty data. Turns out cell phones caused way more accidents and deaths than they had thought. The initial report had 913 accidents in 2001, while the new report puts the figure at 4699 for 9 months. Studies have also shown that cell phone use of any kind, handheld or hands free, impairs decision making ability. Also, cognitive engagement has the same effects. So, keep your mouth shut and stop thinking! Don’t THINK and drive!!! And slow down people. 65 is plenty fast enough. Cell phones are also expensive, although there are long distance benefits in some cases. There was a time not long ago when cell phones gave people brain tumors. It’ll take some more time to figure out what the new breed is doing to hurt us. Finally, I can’t understand people on either end of a cell phone very well. To conclude, cell phones can be a very useful tool, but don’t overdo it. I’m taking the Presbyterian stance on this one, Moderation.
Americans in general are fat. They eat too much meat and refined sugar and grains. They also watch a lot of TV and sit around a lot. The TV then tells them that it is great to be thin, but they don’t have to give up their current eating and sitting regimen. They in turn don’t lose the weight and they feel bad for not being like the TV tells them to be despite doing what the TV tells them to do. All the refined and modernized foods also cause more and more pollution, thus compounding their problems, and those of others. My advice to America; don’t eat too much crap, don’t sit around too much, and don’t listen to the media too much. Again, doing all these in moderation is fine. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy eating crap every once in a while, being lazy for the occasional weekend, and adsorbing a little pop art? Moderation people. Moderation.
