I’ve been hearing on the news that President Obama has sent an economic stimulus package to Congress for approval, and it is mostly tax cuts and what I assume is rebate checks to the consumers (I haven’t heard details.) I’ve heard that the Republicans are concerned that it will create more debt; as if the past President didn’t create more debt on his watch! I’m wondering if any of it is geared towards bringing the overseas jobs back home again. I know that the entire world needs more jobs, but we need to take care of “our own” too! “We” can’t take care of the entire world if “we” are falling apart too!

I’m all for advances in technology; I embrace it! But I do have to say that I think it is very rude for people to be involved in text messaging while pretending to have a conversation with someone else. If I am eating dinner with someone at a restaurant, I would be highly offended if that person started text messaging someone else, and I think I would get up from the table and go home! I also think that text messaging while driving is very dangerous and should be illegal!
