From The Columbus Dispatch:

"A bill that would ban texting while driving for adults and prohibit anyone under age 18 from using any electronic device while behind the wheel got final House approval today...., the ban on handheld devices for those younger than 18, including cellphones and tablet computers, would be a primary offense."

"For teens, the punishment for using an electronic device to type or make calls would be a $150 fine and a 60-day license suspension for a first offense. It grows to a $300 fine and one-year suspension for repeat violations."

Unintended Consequences Questions: 

What happens to the 17 year old who calls their parents because they are lost or having a problem? 

If the 17 year old receives a ticket for calling his parents, how high will their insurance rates go up?

If there is an accident and the 17 year old was on the phone with their parents at the time, what penalty will the courts and insurance companies issue?

Could the insurance companies use this bill as an excuse not to pay when someone is hurt? 

Could the courts send a 17 year old to jail if there is an accident while he is on the phone with his parents, even though the person who hit them ran a red light?

These are important questions that every parent needs to get answers to!  Find out, before the young man or women charged in these cases-is your own.

From The Columbus Dispatch:

"Your 401(k) could sink again. A plummeting euro might make it harder for American companies to sell goods overseas. Credit could be tightened.  These are all potential complications of a European debt crisis that risks spiraling out of control. And in today’s interconnected global economy, Greece’s troubles could over time become a headache for all of Europe and, by extension, the rest of the world."

From The Daily Caller:

"Iran’s ayatollahs are showing frustration with Iranians leaving Islam for Christianity in large numbers despite the threat of execution for apostasy.  A former intelligence officer in the Guards, who has now defected to Europe, told The Daily Caller that the country’s regime has ordered the domestic intelligence apparatus to use drastic measures to stop them — including imprisonment, torture and the mass-burning of Bibles."

"According to a report by Mohammad Reza Modaber, the chief editor of the Christian Farsi language Mohabat News, two Christian converts in their mid 20s were arrested in April after intelligence agents entered their home in Tehran without warrants.  One agent, responding to the mother of the arrested who asked where they were taking her children and why, responded mockingly, “Tell Jesus to come and rescue them.”

"Among other torture methods, spouses of the arrested converts are brought in and beaten in front of them to make them collaborate, while others are kept in total darkness in dungeon-type cells for weeks with no human contact, so that they lose sense of time."

"Your childhood is spent on the move, dodging German bombs. One night you're crouching in the family's backyard bomb shelter, feeling the earth shake. The next night you're sheltered in a subway with thousands of other Londoners as your city burns overhead."
