The government is considering getting rid of the law that forbids people to hang objects from their rear view mirrors. They believe that if the object does not obscruct the driver's view it should be made legal.
"Bolger dismissed concerns about selective enforcement, saying police "can't stop every single car on the road for every single violation."" This quote stood out the most because it explains how the police are not going to be very demanding about this law. However, if there is an object hanging from a driver's mirror that could possibly be a threat to the safety of other drivers, they will be pulled over.
I agree with this ban. I believe that when somebody is driving every precaution needs to be taken to promote safety. If the object is not a threat to safety, then there is no issue with it. However, if it is a threat, the person needs to be pulled over and required to take it down.

It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you
1. The point that he is trying to make is that when Lebron James was given awards and praise no one said that the reason was because of his race. However when he is accused of doing something wrong some are willing to blame it on his race. He is tryting to say that race can't be used as an excuse or a loophole to get away with doing wrong.
2. I agree with his point. I agree because I believe that this happens too much within our society. Some people truly think that when they do something wrong they can say that it is unfair. They can also say that the only reason that they are being punished is because of their race.
3. "Do you think there's a role that race plays in this? Do people love you because you're African American?" This is the writer's strongest point because it shows that people do not love Lebron because of his race. They love him because of his amazing ability to play basketball. In the same way, they are not disappointed and angry with him because of his race. They are angry and disappointed because of the fact that what he did was wrong. He should be accused and blamed for what he did. This is true for all people, of any race.
