People driving distracted, texting, talking on phones, and they end up killing someone because of it should be tried with murder one. Technology is great, but all of it should be banned except hands-free calling for drivers.
Where can I find the petition to require spaying and neutering in Liberty County? I’ll be the first to sign up. Responsible pet owners have no problem with that and microchipping our beloved pets.

If you ever have a chance to watch “Paranormal Activity,” don’t. It’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen.
