Carbondale & area

I got my ID 3 month ago; I think drivers in Carbondale are more comfortable than in China. Carbondale is a small town and there are not many cars, so you will not meet traffic, but when you drive in China, you may spend one or one and half hours in traffic. It is very dangerous when you drive a car in China, because walkers always break rules. For example, some people will go though a road every time they want. It's dangerous both for drivers and walkers. Drivers cannot control emergency time. Walkers can easily get hurt by accidents. one difference between China and the USA for driving is we should pay a road use fee to the government on the high way. It is very strong that we pay tax for the government to build a high way, but we also need to pay money when we use it. The other difference is we do not need to buy insurance if we want to drive a car, but I should buy insurance in the USA. Most traffic patterns are the same. The difference is we use kilometers, but a American use feet.

Is that fault of Michael Jakson ?
All of people know Michael jakson, he is a very famous singer and dancer in 80s. His famous songs are “off the wall”, “Rock with you”, “Beat jean” and “Human Nature”. He is famous for spatial dance and robot dance. He is African American, but he want to change his skin to white color. He took years of emotional dysfunctions to change skin. At that time most of people criticized him and many newspapers published this thing. His unusual behaves gave people a bad impression. I think maybe he did some bad things in his normal life, but he is one of the best singers and dancers in the world. Not all of people are God, human will make mistake. Although he is different from normal people in behave, he is also different from singers in the world. Sometimes famous is the reason for make troubles because people will put their eyes on celebrates. When we hear some news, we shouldn’t always criticize him or her.
