Texting While Driving

Texting and driving is an increasingly dangerous activity that many people are losing there life to. I read many different sides of the argument and I believe Amy Klobuchar had the best idea. She stated that we must change laws and change attitudes towards texting and driving like we did with seat belts. Harder punishments must be put on people who text and drive to begin to prevent this behavior.  She has encouraged states to enact graduated licensing programs to help new drivers learn the rules of the road and the states to enforce those rules. She showed this worked when in April Minnesota police officers gave out nearly 1000 citations for texting and driving. She ends her argument by saying that she believes it is possible to end texting and driving because in 1970 fewer then 15% of people worse seat belts but now 84% do where seat belts.

My favorite Game

My all time favorite game is Spyro: Year of the Dragon. It is a Playstation one game and was released on October 25th, 2000. I will admit that nostalgia is part of the reason it is my favorite game but I do not let nostalgia cloud my judgment. The level design in this game was beautiful and never left you confused on where to go next unlike many other 3d platform games. The soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks of the spyro series. In most video games getting collectables can be very boring to some people but in this game the collectables are usually attached with fun minigames which give much motivation to achieve them. Even though it is for kids it can actually become very difficult at certain points which is something I love. Another thing this game does great is having very rememberable characters.
