Fuzzy Dice review


            The  “Fuzzy Dice?” article was about the discussion of weather hanging items from rearview mirrors should be illegal or not.  It is downright silly and is in no way harming anyone or causing danger, and therefore should be at the discretion of the cop to ticket someone.  Prudy said, “People aren't hurting anybody and they're not causing any danger." I like this quote because he asserts a point that is hard to disagree with; how can a paper thin air freshener be dangerous! I agree with the act to lighten the ban because it is hardly enforced and this way cannot be used as an excuse to pull someone over and meet the quota.

Albom Response


Albom’s main point is that race had nothing to do with the LeBron's decision to leave Cleveland, or in the publics response.  White and African American’s reacted in there own way to LeBron's ego, mainly negative.  I agree with Albom. Race should not be used as an excuse. We live in a country founded on nondiscrimination, therefore we should not support the use of race as an excuse.  Albom’s most important point was “Because sadly, when a high-profile African-American athlete hits an oil skid of controversy, it is all too easy to make race the culprit. Especially if someone asks.” He’s right. The media literally handed LeBron the opporutunity to use race as an out.
