Seven Pounds and The Recession

If you hit the link to this Blogpost's Title, you'll brought to a comprehensive list that shows which state's will start to reduce their collective contribution to the Nationial Donor Registry. As well as considerable reduction in commercial activity. The world will start to rotate a little bit more slowly, and we'll shuttled back to the ages of ink and paper, constantly worrying whether our spouses or kids will arrive at home on time.

This is because the activity of texting, checking emails, and divising the take over the free world, while driving has been banned from certain states. On my way to and from Boston several nights ago, signs reminded drivers that beginning October 1, 2010, it was now illegal to text while driving. I suppose there would be a possibility of text-o-meter, to check toxic levels to texting. Thumb temperatures and circulation to distal digits can be monitored, as well as text logs on cell phones could be required to be given over for law-enforcement officials to review.

Imagine what it would be like if we weren't able to conduct business on our cell phones with the kind of relentless ambition that drives the Capitalism Paragon of the World. Commerce would come to a virtual halt (pun intended), and we'd be back to the recession of which we've slowly been working toward coming out.

The down side of all this is that I'm card-carrying organ donor. I believe in it adamantly. Life could be easily improved by the simple selfless act of letting people farm our unused non-cataract lenses, non-cirrhotic levers, uninfected bone marrows. I've been accused to having a body with a cellular age of a guy 15 years my junior (is that possible?) and believe that if I died (presumably while texting and driving) I could further the enjoyment of some other people on this earth, just by having that little pink dot on my driver's license. Because of this new law, this ability to extend the life of others will be greatly reduced. And to what extent? Only time will tell.

Besides, I can think of few better ways to give your heart away ;-)
