Remember when ….
Remember when the news papers used to split up the employment opportunities. Jobs for Men. Jobs for women. Remember how, when a crime happened and it happened to be a person of color, they mentioned it. All of this has gone the way of not being PC, so why do they always feel the need to point out the fact that, when something happens "They were both of Pakistani decent"? Why do we need to know that? Isn't this just flaming the fires of hate and bigotry? I think they need to stop it!

Michigan Non-Smokers and Smokers Opinions
Now that smoking is banned in all Michigan public establishments, which I fully support, is it not a constitutional right for say a bar owner to ban non-smokers from his or her place of business? Maybe name the place, "Smokers Only Bar?" I've all ready been hearing people on the news saying that now that smoking is banned, more non-smokers will come to bars and stay longer. Hmm, won't that lead to more drunk drivers killing people on the road? Would enjoy reading your opinions.

The Journey of My Car:
You will notice a play on words. I bought my car brand new in the summer of 2008 and it is a 2009. It had 23 miles. After I had it for a year, I started having engine problems. I have had my 5th fuel injector, coil and spark plug changed twice and most recently, I have received a new catalytic converter. I could tell my car was still not running the way it did before the problems started. Well the miss in the engine has come back and seems worse than the first time. My car will shake and at times, it is violent. When anyone is in the car with me it does not act up or when the mechanic drives it, it does nothing. My engine light is on and blinks when the shaking occurs…so that is my proof that I am not crazy. Validation: On the news yesterday, they talked about vehicles in 2010 that have received the most complaints. My car is number one. It mentioned engine problems, suspension problems, brake/rotor problems, along with others. A note to anyone buying used, get the car fax. If you look up my VIN it will tell you that although my car is almost 2 years old it has had a lot of work done on the engine –Already, NOT good. You don’t want to buy a car like that. Has anyone ever bought a brand new car and it turn out to be a nightmare (Lemon)? Let’s hear horror stories even if your car was used. At least today you can get the vehicle history (if used) before purchasing. http://kdka.com/local/Car.Complaint.index.2.1659721.html The link to the number one complained about vehicle…it is mine!
