I Prefer My Air Freshners On My Rearview Mirror

The Article on the "Law banning items from rear view mirrors is being rethought" is simply about how people and police do not pay attention or acknowledge the fact that hanging items from your rear view mirror is breaking the law, so for that the state of Michigan is debating on changing the law.

"As a general principle, we wouldn't support anything that gives police arbitrary power to pull people over," Purdy said. "Unless it's large and an obvious obstruction, it's just silly for police to pull somebody over for that. People aren't hurting anybody and they're not causing any danger." I like this quote, because it shows how even the spokesman of the National Motorists Association thinks the law is rediculous.

I agree with this law, because I think you should be able to do whatever you want to your own car. If you bought it you should be able to put items you like in it. Express your love for your car in fun items and props.

Mitch Albom on LeBron

In Mitch Albom’s point on his LeBron James segment is that why is it whenever an African American is involved is the racial card thrown. It seems like every time someone with a different skin color is in the spot light, a person always brings up something about their skin color. In this case the reporter says "Do you think there's a role that race plays in this?"
            I agree with Albom is his segment because I also think that people need to stop thinking so racial about everything. Everyone is created equal. We shouldn’t judge people just because of their skin color.
            In my opinion Albom’s best part of his whole segment is when he writes “Why not look at the facts

without color?” Then he changes LeBron’s name to Leo. This shows that no matter whom it is, how their

names spelled, how good they are, etc. Everyone is equal. This also shows how creative Mitch Albom is in

his writing’s. He puts his own touch of style to the paper to show his readers what the news is all about
