Teen and Distracting Driving

One in three (34%) texting teens ages 16-17 say they have texted while driving. That translates into 26% of all American teens ages 16-17.
Because of my own life and what i've seen from most of my friends I'm surprise to see the number for teen texting to be 34% in the study, translating into 26% overall. I would think that it would be inching toward 50%.
The 52% that talks and drive is about what I thought it would be if not a little bit higher.

Now artists have to prove to their fans that their CD are worth buying, are worthing investing in.

On his visit to American International College Alan Khazei, who is running for the late Ted Kennedy's senate seat, unveil his health care plan.

Running on a platform similar to Kennedy's, on social issues that need to be reprimanded so they can better serve the people. His plan is base on morality and not politics, and that may be the reason for failure, sadly enough.
