Law banning items from rearview mirrors is being rethought

This article is about the change in the law that states that you cannot hang objects from your rear view mirror. Michigan lawmakers have passed a bill that states that you are allowed to have objects hanging from your rear view mirror, as long as they don't block your view of the road.

"Auto parts stores stock plenty of air fresheners and other gear marketed to hang behind windshields." I like this quote from Matt Helms because it makes me laugh and it's ironic because the auto part companies are selling tons of items that are illegal. I did not even know that this was illegal in Michigan, along with many others I'm sure. It is not enforced and I see everyone do it. The auto companies obviously do not see it as a problem, so why should it be?

I disagree with the ban because people should be allowed to put what they want in their car as long as its not blocking the driver's view of the road. That would be very silly to fine someone for having a rosary, air freshener, or small object hanging from the rear view mirror. I think the change in the bill will not make much of a change, however, because it does not seem to be a problem now.

It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you

In this article, Mitch Albom questions why race only comes up if something bad happens to someone of colored skin. Like he says, LeBron never got asked if it was about race when he got drafted out of highschool or when he was voted MVP. Albom wonders why when one thing bad thing happens to LeBron, he mentions that it has somewhat to do with race. What he is really wondering though, is why interviewers even have to ask the question. Mitch Albom feels that the question is not necessary if one thing bad happens to someone that usually has great things happen to them. Albom changes the story to make LeBron into another man with the name Leo, who is in the same situation as LeBron. He makes the point that that would not be thought of discrimination.
I agree with Mitch Albom's statement that race should not be brought up at all when sport decisions like this come up. It has to do with the athletes talent, not their skin color. If it was about their skin color, this world would be much worse.
Mitch Albom's point is that race should not be brought up when an athlete undergoes a bad time in his career. Albom best presents his point when he tells the story of LeBron with "Leo" in his place. It shows that no one would think that the things that happened to him were due to racism because they do not know if he is black or white.
