Car-Sharing Startup RelayRides Hit With $200K Fine From New York State For Insurance Violations
While negative news isn’t great, the idea behind this company has incredible potential. It is a great step toward both conservation efforts and reduced carbon emissions, and is something that should be pursued!
Snowden: “We Need A Watchdog That Watches Congress”
Regardless of watch dogs, we are all still just human. This means we are all fallible, elected or not, appointed or not, high morals or not … The problem of national security, high end government and the need for watch dogs will always have issues, and is always subject to the potential for corruption. Despite these considerations, however, I still consider this a step in the right direction. If we get too caught up in our long term goals to miss the key steps along the way, we will never move forward. After all, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”!

Yeah, itās the third one that usually gets the record-scratch reaction.
I was raised Muslim, but in my teens, I became severely disillusioned with the faith. Having finished reading the Qurāan in English for the first time, I started to fully appreciate just how easy it was for people to twist and re-interpret the book to serve their own needs.

How you find yourself looking around your home afterwards and wondering how people take so many things for granted, forgetting to enjoy the little things that make their day? Well, they were right.
Itās very hard to put in words what this place does to you (and Iām not the best of writers anyway), but you canāt just ease back effortlessly into your old life and habits.
