As a rabid opponent of using a cellphone while driving, I am not surprised to hear the results of a new study
(http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/28/adults-worse-than-teens-about-texting-behind-wheel/2026331/)
declaring that nearly half of all those surveyed do text and drive, despite the fact that almost all of the people surveyed know it is dangerous.
They needed a study for this?

Pope Talk
I mean no disrespect to the outgoing Pope, but what's with all the talk about what he'll do in his "retirement" when, really, does anyone think it'll be a long, productive one?
If you ask me, all the money and effort being spent on remodeling his next forever home seem like a big waste and short-sighted.
After all, if the guy thought he had a fruitful future ahead, he would have kept the job till death parted him from it, as I understand is the custom.
So Catholics, pay your respects, and Mainstream Media, marvel at and over-report this once in a lifetime royal resignation, but please stop speculating about what's ahead for the first Pope Emeritus. It's the same future that awaits us all.
