adult blogs continuing...

Steven d. levitt-
I found this blog written by him concering someone elses thoughts. He viewed Gary Becker's theory on addiction and what he thinks is the biggest thing to become addicted to. He said that most people are addicts in some way and get addicted to something. He took a poll on what people think is the most addictive thing on earth is. Most people threw out things like crack or caffine, heroine. But, he didnt want to throw a blog out there on the obvious answer or what people automatically think the answer is. He listed 4 things on what it means to be addcited to something and what happens during the period of time. Gary Becker said that "falling in love" is the most addictive thing a person can come to. I agree with him fully. Mostly towards younger people.All us teens and younger people are searching for acceptance and someone to love and someone to share our love with. Everyone wants a person to lean on and share everything with..yeah we have our close friends to do that with but us as human beings want that intimate side too and I agree with him on love is the most addictive thing out there.



Gary becker and Richard Posner-

This blog that I read of theirs is on drunk driving. They say that this is the biggest crime people do in the United States. Unlike Sweden or other countries, people are smarter about this and make their choices on what they are going to do after they are done drinking. He does not agree that people make their choices on drunk driving during this time or after the times of their drinks. He says people fear punishment, they make them before driving if they have drank alot. He thinks that the harm due to others while drunk driving shout be the same as the person doing it. United States has over 40,000 deaths per year due to drunk driving. Becker claims that during the Holiday season that is when there are the most accidents and deaths due to driving back from parties for the holiday and holiday parties. The United states law on drunk driving and their punishment has not been high but recently due to the group called Mothers against drunk driving..the punishments for drunk driving has gained high alost 40 percent. I like this blog because it gives alot of facts about drunk driving and percentages on things. I think he has a good idea on the whole thing and is really clear on it all.
