Cell Phones

23/01/08 17:35
I didn't think it was going to happen, but it has. Today, the Massachusetts House of Reps passed a bill that would ban text messaging and talking on your cell phone while driving. CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR AND LET HIM/HER KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT THIS BILL PASSED. This is one of the most blatant examples of Uncle Sam butting into your private lives to attempt to control you. Statistically, the number of accidents caused by cell phone distraction is miniscule. This bill exists solely for the purpose of ticketing drivers for revenue and, as usual, punishing teen drivers.
