Critiquing: Mortorcyclists and Safety

So heart broken this is my last blog for the semester! :) Reading threw my fellow classmates blogs I found: “Motorcyclists and Safety” by A. Jones. While reading this article I couldn't help but to think why do I have to be more cautious?? I'm not the crazy driver...they are! I can't even to begin to count how many times I've seen motorcyclists speeding down the highways, weaving in and out of traffic, driving between cars at a light or "popping willies".  It makes me so angry that these people drive so carelessly and yet automobile drivers have to be more careful and share the road. WHATEVER!  I'm not a mean person and I'm not going to purposely run over someone, but I can't lie sometimes I think about opening my door when I see them cutting threw the middle of all the cars to get to the front of the line at a traffic light. I do believe everyone should be cautious with EVERYTHING around you. A. Jones mentions turn our heads instead of using the mirrors and not to ride the bumper, these are things we should be doing no matter what kind of vehicle it is around you. I freak out at the thought of the impact of a motorcyclist hitting the ground, hell I hate when I fall walking! Thinking safety I DO think that Texas should require all the motorcyclists to wear helmets and not to allow 5 year old children to ride on a motorcycle period! It makes absolutely no sense to me, if everyone in a car has to wear a seat belt why shouldn't the motorcyclist wear helmets?? Also children have to be in car seats or booster seats until a certain weight limit but not to ride with someone on a motorcycle...Really?? All I'm saying is we should be cautious driving no matter what and all the motorcyclists should be the ones driving with even more caution and stop driving like they are invincible to the other vehicles! Motorcyclist vs. automobile... Automobile is unfortunately going to win.  Peace!  

Bin Laden Dead…

Bin Laden Dead…      

WOW…As I was driving to work tonight I heard the news about Osama bin Laden finally found killed and now his body has been taken in custody. 

Congratulations to the small team of Americans that killed bin Laden! This man hunt has nearly gone on a decade! It’s crazy to know that a man that has ruined thousands of peoples live has 10 years later been killed!

 When I came into work tonight I looked the information up on yahoo and I found the article, Obama: Al-Qaida head bin Laden dead by: Julie Pace and Matt Apuzzo the information is slowly coming out still… but I decided to write about this because to me it’s bitter-sweet. Obama said “Justice has been done.” and Former President George W. Bush says “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight American has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.” So what is justice?  The wikipedia says Justice is the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity, along with the punishment of the breach of said ethics. So in my mind and I’m pretty sure the minds of many others does this mean Bin Laden’s Al-Qaida people that he trained and are just as twisted minded as he was going to continue to try to get “justice” for there leaders death? I’m honestly worried for what the terrorist next step is going to be. I’m pretty sure that they have some type of plan worked out if this was to ever happen. So we will have to wait and see what kind of affect this is going to have on the US.

It’s awesome to know a huge crowd gathered outside the White House tonight as the word spread, with everyone cheering for the USA.  It does put a smile on my face knowing that strangers come together for the good and the bad.  I remember where I was and what I was doing for 9-11 so I’m thankful for Obama and Bush’s attempt to find and kill Bin Laden.  I’m not sure if it is “justice” because all the lives we lost will never be given back and all the soldiers out there aren’t going to come home because it’s over… I don’t think it will ever be over. We can hope, pray and wish only. Thank you to the men who carried out the operation you have given a bit of faith and hope to the families that were affected in the past.
