Air bags have been used in automobiles since the
1980 s. The trend gathered momentum in the early
and mid 1990 s, during which major car

1998, driver- and passenger-side air bags have
been required by law for all new cars in the
United States. The air bag, however, was not born
in a design room at the Ford Motor Company. The
first inflatable device patented to help prevent

Almost 150 years ago, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. ,
expressed the following sage but sad observation
in his book "The Professor at the Breakfast
Table": Society is always trying in some way or
other to grind us down to a single flat surface.
Unfortunately, this is still true today. Last week
I saw the movie "The Breakfast Club" written and
directed by John Hughes which expressed a similar

thirteen percent, and this number is made up of
only half a percent of minors. (Stoup, Page 1)

time schedule because of a curfew. Curfews
severely reduce the amount of time that minors

When I was little, I used to dream about being the
Governor of Hong Kong. I still remember the
composition I wrote in my primary school, in which
I conveyed my vision and even outlined the
policies I planned to carry out once I became the
leader of the government. After a few years, I
realized that it was almost impossible for me to
be the Governor of Hong Kong, because the position
was in fact appointed by the British government.
This was a piece of disheartening news. I tried to

corporations and banks, or the evil of a tormented

The use of cellular phones has spread like wild

daily operations occur while the individual is

place in the last ten years due to the use of
