It’s time for new C.E.O Tim Cook to take on his first big challenge…the release of the iPhone 5.0. October 4th is the day Apple enthusiats will find out all the new specs of the iPhone and you can bet between now and then the rumor-villie will be non-stop about things that may or may not be on the highly anticipated new iPhone. From Mashable.com:
“So if we’re on the iPad 2 schedule, expect to see the iPhone 5 in stores on Thursday, Oct. 13. But there are plenty of reasons to think it might arrive earlier. Remember the leaked Sprint announcement blacking out vacation time for store employees in the first two weeks of October? It would be odd if Sprint were to go to that trouble, only to allow employees to take time off after the first two business days of heavy iPhone 5-based foot traffic.”

Usually I don’t tackle local issues…because I think it’s too boring but here goes…in a recent article posted on mynorthwest.com it explains that the wonderful people over at the Mercer Island City Council plan to move forward with what I call a booze ordinance. Here’s the quick and short of it; Mercer Island City Council wants to enact an ordinance to fine parents $250 if their kids throw drinking parties at their homes (even if your kid is 22 comes back from college and decides to have a few drinks with a couple buddies). City of Mercer Island Youth Family Services Department, Derek Franklin, says across the country ordinances like the one proposed is working and cutting down on teen drinking.
Well Mr. Franklin…let’s see you want to hold parents responsible for their kids actions (even if the parents had no idea what their kids were doing when they were gone?). That doesn’t sound right…what happened to showing kids you are responsible for your OWN actions. You do the crime…you do the time! I think that motto is being thrown out the windows nowadays. I believe teens/adolescents are being shown (via youtube, celebrities, TV, etc.) that if you have money you can get away with anything you want, there’s no reason to take responsibility for your actions because someone else will take the fall for you.
When I was young I remember being punished…and swatted, a few times. I didn’t call 911 or CPS; it’s part of learning what not to do (looking back I thank my parents for that…lol).
Okay, I digress, what I’m saying is why are we punishing parents (especially if they didn’t know) why don’t we think of fining/punishing the people who had fun that night–the kids! Oh, and why is the government telling me how and what to do with my kids? Keep the government out of our homes…let parents be parents. HEY…why don’t you tackle issues that really matter! Like dog poop on the sidewalks or clean parks for kids or hey fundraising to bring some programs you had to squash because of the poor economy. I don’t know, tackle issues that will help us…don’t tell us what to do!

On a lighter note, here’s song of the day:
