Political Power of Social Networking Sites

With the growing popularity of websites such as myspace and facebook, many polititians and members of congress are turning to these webpages as a way of letting the public know about them. With a combined total of over 100million users, both of these sites serve as perfect ways for elected officials to make themselves known. It will be no suprise if the next president of the United States even creates his or her own page on one of these sites. With their own page, they will have the power to post videos, create blogs and post messages on important topics that millions of people will have access to. The world is changing and the internet is now starting to take over as one of the main sources of communication among people. With litteraly hundreds of millions of users worldwide, it would be a mistake to ignore the online community. If used properly, the internet could serve as a powerful tool that could help shape the world.

Are Hybrid Cars Really Worth the Extra Cost?

As everyone already knows, the prices of gas are soaring throught the roof. It's not uncommon to go to the pump, fill up and spend 70dollars or more on a tank of gas. In order to save money, many Americans are turning to hybrid cars. Such manafacturers as toyota, honda and even General Motors are offering hybrid automobiles to the public. While these vehicles do consume less fuel then their non hybrid counterparts, they also cost more. For example a brand new hybrid Cadillac Escalade Hybrd will run the consumer $71,685, which is about $3,600 more than a similarly equiped non hybrid model. While the consumer pays almost four grand more for the hybrid version, they would have to keep the car for a significant amount of years to make up for that cost in fuel. Basically you would have to keep the car for a much longer time then planned in order to benefit from the hybrid model being that your spending an extra $3,600 dollars on the car rather than gas.

The Benefits of Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popoular social sites on the web. Over 40million people are active on the site everyday. In order to use facebook, the site requires users to create an account and upload a picture that is used on their own personal page. On that page you can list schools you attended, places you worked and also groups that you're interested in. You can find friends on facebook and add them to your contacts. One friends are added, you have the option to create or attend events that you or your friends have scheduled. What makes this service great is the fact that you can locate old friends and associates that you havent been able to keep in contact with. Its a great tool that helps people to communicate and connect with one another.

World's Toughest Sport

It's not football, not rugby, certainly not gymnastics. The world's toughest sport is freestlye motocross. It may come as a suprise to most people, they might also not agree , but you would have to see it to believe it. Personally i think an individual performing a double backflip on a 200 pound 2 stroke dirtbike is something you would have to see to believe. Every aspect of the sport is simply amazing. Being that guys like Nate Adams, Ronnie Faisst, and Travis Pastrana are professionals there is a good chance they'll land whatever trick theyre trying to put down. However, all it takes is half a second to mess up on a trick which could result in a few cuts and bruises or a trip to the emergency room.

In The Dead Of The Morning

During the twilight hours of the morning, there is not a sound heard. There is no voice, no opinions, no right and no wrong. Not a single soul is awake to place judgement on your actions. The only person whom will answer yes or no is yourself. This is the opportune time to reflect on one's self, thinking not only back to the actions and events that had happened during the previous day, but what will also take place in the days to come. It is the time where an individual can express his or her ideas without any distraction from others. A time where a person can be in total harmony with themselves.
