If we're still permitted to say that something is "a guy thing," that's my excuse for disliking audio directions coming from a GPS device in the car. If more detail is required, I suppose it has to do with a preference for seeing a visual representation of the path rather than hearing somebody read descriptive instructions.
My wife has the opposite preference, but that didn't save her from (in my view) a frivolous ticket for texting and driving in Seekonk that illustrates the dangers and economic harm that can be done when we allow government to become the guardian of all safe practices and common sense.
CAMBRIDGE – A Harvard Law School student, who mocked a former Israeli foreign minister with what has been denounced as an anti-Semitic remark during a question-and-answer session after a school forum last week, believes the matter has been "blown out of proportion," a person close to the situation said Thursday.
The person said the student, Husam el-Coulaq, who leads the school's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, didn't want his name to be made public after asking a forum speaker why she was "smelly."
