[Psalm 73]

"Those happen to be existing LAWS, not a right or liberty."

They weren't ALWAYS existing laws! They were passed for the safety of everyone engaged in driving on public roads.
When cars first appeared, you could pretty-much drive as you pleased - you could even talk on a hand-held phone.
Show me where driving while using hand-held cell-phones is a right or liberty. In the Constitution? In the Bible?
Ban hand-held cell-phones.

[Puppage]

Those are LAWS, not rights, nor liberties.By putting up a stop sign, what are they taking away from you? Nothing, that's what. I understand your point of view, MY point is if this law IS passed, where does it stop? When will the next silly law that some people want passed in the name of safety, be deemed just that...silly?

I liken it to all the political correctness BS that's out there. A Tug of Peace, instead of Tug of War? Come on..THAT'S silly, wouldn't you agree? Yet, that's what some towns are now calling it.

[Legion]

And after that ban precedent is set? What's next on your list? What else won't I be allowed to do to make you feel safer?

Or will the banning of cell phones stop all distraction-related accidents?

And if it won't then what will you crusade against next? Surely there will be something...can't have you feeling unsafe now, can we?

Ban this, ban that... quite an American response.

I'd like to enjoy the few liberties I have left, thanks very much. Granted, it's not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, but lots of everyday things we do aren't, either.

Cell phones in and of themselves are not the problem they're made out to be. It's distraction, and not paying attention to what you're doing that causes accidents.
