Ever hear the cliche, "You Are What You Eat"?
Well, check-out Steve's newest column tited "You Are How You Drive". Very funny stuff indeed and something that's happened to all of us!
Here's an excerpt from this new column:
"...I’m leaving the customary three car lengths in front of my car, which at that speed is just enough distance to avoid a collision should the driver in front of me come to a dead stop.
I do a side check to my left and during that two-second hiatus, wouldn’t you know it, some impatient guy makes a right-hand turn from a side street and manages to squeeze ever-so-tightly into that space between my car and what used to be the next one. Of course, his car isn’t traveling at the same rate of speed, which forces me to slam on the breaks or risk crashing into his jalopy, which would make me responsible for the accident. Great..."

"PROTECTING US FROM OURSELVES"
Happy New Year! Then again...
As we welcomed 2010, many governments at various levels ushered-in multiple thousands of new laws across North America. More and more laws restrict and regulate our personal activities, leading to less individual liberty. This article explores why it's happening and why we're so eager to accept it.
CLICK HERE to read Stephen's newest editorial piece.
Here is an excerpt from this very timely column:
"...what happens when we trade away our ability to make an individual decision on something that exclusively affects how we live our own life and does not affect others? The result is that we have less autonomy than we did before we sealed that particular deal. As a consequence, a bit of our self-determination – something our society holds in such great esteem – flies out the window. What’s worse is that every time we roll over and allow yet another law or regulation to in some way curtail our personal decision-making, we’re all that more willing to let it happen again and again..."
"Think about it this way. Although they make their employees’ lives a living hell, bosses who micromanage really do believe that they can derive outstanding results and minimal risk. Hmmm…see a pattern here? Do we actually believe that we can make a given activity completely safe by means of micro-legislation? Increasingly, our politicians are passing laws championed by special interest groups who seek to remove all risk to the planet and its people."
