At this point, they had my full attention. Under further examination, what do I see? Some little Blonde, and guess what? That's right, she's on her cellphone. Driving a Phone Booth may be cool in the land of Science Fiction, but in the real World, it's reckless and unacceptable.
"Excuse me, do you have Prince Albert in a can?"It's bad enough, Townships, Cities, Counties, States, and now the Federal Government are having to impose laws to put an end to this abuse. They met last week to start the verbiage on a Federal Bill that will outlaw Texting while driving. TEXTING!
A large amount of areas, one in particular being Chicago, have passed laws where you can be cited with a Moving Violation if you're using a cellphone while driving an automobile without a Bluetooth earpiece or other hands-free device.
Now I realize we are in the Information Age. I understand that technology is more of a part of our daily lives than it ever has been, and that as time goes on, it will become something that is in every facet of our existence, but this is completely absurd. Should we really have to tell someone not to text while driving? Unless you're someone like Steve Jobs or Arnold Schwarzenegger, your life is not that high paced that you need to be texting, e-mailing, Googling, or anything else while you are controlling a moving vehicle. Even Steve and Arnie have drivers so that they don't have to do that.
