Without really any pressing topics that I want to blog about, I decided to go to CNN.com. Here are some of the headlines and my comments...
1) Stocks end at lowest point since '97: That, my friend, is quite a drop. However I remain confident that the economy will recover like it always has, and life will go on. If not, life will go on anyways, unless the apocalypse arrives. Plus wouldn't this be a good time to buy? Isn't the saying "buy low, sell high"? Perhaps then you shouldn't sell high, because that, obviously, isn't good for the stock market. Enough with money, we move onto...
2) (from wausaudailyherald.com because it was a slow day nationally in news) "For Wisconsin motorists, tickets could be in the mail": This article concerned the proposition by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle to install cameras to catch motorists that run red lights, and speed in work zones. I, for one, think this isn't a bad idea. I posted my views on the comments page of the article and got some response. First I stated that running red lights and speeding in work zones is illegal, so citizens could prevent the surprise citiation in the mail by not doing the acts. Second committing these crimes is dangerous, and this will help crack down those bad people. Third this would bring in revenue to help fund the states programs. Some people agreed; some disagreed. There were questions of privacy. I wasn't aware that public roads were private. If we were to install cameras on private properties, and catch druggies, and other criminals, that would, in my opinion, be an invasion of privacy. We will just have to wait and see if this is implemented.
This is all for today. Peace be with you all, and keep a positive outlook of life.
-F.B.
