Nobody wants to give up their "right" to

"drive with a cell phone" .... ohmygawd. Hey, what about
drive
with one of those GPS thingies, or changing CDs or scanning
thru
XM radio or....?
Maybe we should require a sterile car so that nothing,
absolutely
nothing
can distract the driver.

(yep - this crusade about talking on a cellphone is a hot
button
for me).

Crusade all you want. Argue from silly extremes all you want.
Talking on the phone while driving increases risk of having a
serious accident by 4-5 times. But you prove my point
beautifully. People don't really give a rat's arse about being
safer if it inconvieniences them, even if the inconvienience is
slight.

Got any data to support that?

Yes.

Your google broke?

Do your own homework piggy. Put up, shut, or you my bitch.

No problem.

Chinese Proverb: Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a
man
to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.




Thing is, Maxie thinks that fishing is best done by poisoning the
pond.
Plenty of fish for about a day and a half....but of course those
aren't
any good either..

I thought he used dynamite!


I didn't want to swell his head by giving him too much credit.
Also, by using poison, he ensures the pond is uninhabitable!
