Political Cartoon 2

1.) Mike Smith drew this political cartoon.

2.) It was published in The Dallas Morning News on December 5, 2009.

3.) This article is joking about texting while driving

4.) The cartoon shows a man sitting in a psychiatrist's chair saying "I have a death wish." The psychiatrist asks him "How long have you been texting while driving?" 
This cartoon is saying that the most common life-threatening thing that people do these days is texting while driving. It's become so common that the psychiatrist just assumes that that's what the man's problem is. 

5.) I agree that texting while driving has become a really big problem. It's something that's mostly associated with teenagers.  However, I don't think it's the only dangerous habit Americans have developed. Gambling, drugs, and drunk driving are also just as serious as texting while driving.

  1. I agree with the texting while driving statement. So many people do this and lots of accidents could be avoided if people would just put away their cell phones. However, I don't think that only teens are to blame for texting while driving because I just taught my mom to text and now she always tries to text me. I'm not saying she texts while driving just that it's not just teens that should be taking the blame for texting.
