You are an Awesome Driver

Winters in Michigan.  They happen every year, it's almost predictable.  Even with that, people tend to forget how to drive when there is any speck of white precipitation falling from the sky.  Usually there's two types of winter drivers-- those who drive an SUV and feel the need to keep traffic moving at 60 mph, regardless of the road conditions and those who drive with wipers at full blast, going 15 mph.  Both are excellent examples of ways to deal with a winter that will last approximately 574 more months in Michigan.

While these are both extremely effective ways to handle our lovely winter weather, perhaps we could come up with a third option? Maybe drive responsibly, taking others and the road conditions into account? Nah, I think that's a horrible idea too....

Finding the Passion is easy; Finding the Research Isn't!

I want to write my next paper about the legalization of gay marriage.  I think that if you're of legal age and want to get married-- go for it.  I have been married for (ahem!) quite a few years now, and never in that entire time, has someone else's ability to get married affected my marriage.  That is an argument I cannot understand. Also, the "sanctity of marriage" debate makes my skin crawl. With a national divorce rate of over 50%, it doesn't seem so sacred to most people.  
However, I am having trouble finding credible research.  I've found oodles and oodles of opinions, but facts are hard to come by.  I'm hoping we will go over in class some researching ideas, so I can find some sources to back me up.
