Law banning items from rearview mirrors is being rethought

1. The little-known Michigan law that bans items from being hung from rearview mirrors is finally being reconsidered, and this is the first time that Michigan residents have been exposed to the existence of such a law.

2. "I thought it was legal as long as it's not something that obstructs your view," Pentecost said recently.
I like this quote because it shows how most Michigan residents are unaware of the existence of this law in its entirety. Another quote I like is "He has driven for 30 years with a rosary hanging from his rearview mirror and has never been stopped or ticketed for it -- even when police pulled him over for other infractions." because it shows how authorities are unaware of the law as well, so it is not very well enforced.

3. I disagree with the ban, because as long as the item hanging from your rearview mirror is not obstructing your view of the road, I don't see it as a problem.

Mitch Albom Article

1) Mitch Albom's point is that LeBron James's race is not the reason why he is being so criticized.

2) I completely agree with Albom. First of all, it was absolutely stupid for Soledad O'Brien to even ask the race question. When I saw the interview on ESPN, and the question came out, the only thing I could say was "What does that have to do with anything?". Second of all, this article is just evidence that LeBron James has turned from Cleveland's hero into a self-centered punk. Third of all, I think Albom is correct when he says that the race card needs to stop being played, just because an African-American person is being criticized for whatever reason.

3) I think that Albom's most effective point is that "ego knows no race". What he means by this is that LeBron James would still have a huge ego, whether he is black or white. He then goes on to explain why in a calm, relaxed manner, without ever using an exclamation point.
