In Oklahoma, steps are being taken towards making texting and driving one hundred percent illegal. Some people, though, are trying to get there to be an exception to texting and driving. They want it to be lawful for a person who is in an emergency status, like a police officer or a doctor, to be able to text while driving if they can prove that it is being done so in a necessary manner.
Others are arguing against this. They feel that under no circumstances should it be lawful for someone to text and drive. Their defense is that police officers and fire fighters are traditionally the ones on the road who are driving the fastest, therefore they are already more of a hazard to everyone on the road. If you were to add texting in their, they become very harmful to the safety of everyone on the road.
How do you feel about people who are tending to emergencies being able to text while they are driving? Do you think that because of their status, they become above the law? I feel that it should not be legal for them to text because they can simply call the person who they need to reach. Calling is a much more effective communication method than texting is first of all and it is much less distracting than texting as well.

Super Bowl
http://www.csnbaltimore.com/blog/ravens-talk/super-bowl-xlvii-will-be-harbaugh-bowl
This year's Super Bowl is unlike any Super Bowl that has taken place before. Two brothers, Jim Harbaugh of the San Francisco 49ers and John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, are going to face off against each other in Super Bowl XLVII. This was not the first matchup between the two in an NFL game. On Thanksgiving in 2011, the two brothers and their teams clashed. John was able to escape with a 16 - 6 win over his brother Jim. Maybe now it is Jim's turn to have the bragging rights.
Both brothers played football in college and Jim played in the NFL and had a rather successful career playing 15 seasons. Also, John and Jim have had tons of success as coaches. John in his first five seasons as an NFL head coach has made it to the playoffs every season and on top of that, he has won at least one game in the playoffs each of the five seasons. Jim, who led Stanford to a BCS bowl in 2010, got offered to be the head coach in San Francisco. In 2011, the 49ers made it all the way to the conference championship, but lost to the New York Giants. It is very rare that you would ever see two brothers coaching in the NFL, let alone being extremely successful year in and year out.
