And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If everyone with a cellphone to their ear or texting while crossing a road was killed the human race would become extinct in 2 years. That would end the Global Warming problem so there's a bright side to everything.
Saw a new one the other day: Guy was texting while riding his bicycle. My office is essentially on an urban university campus, so shambling phone-zombies are an everyday sight, but bike-guy was novel -- at least to me.
Oh, I've been rearended twice by texters. thankfully, i am in a seven thousand pound Dodge diesel Pickup truck. one left fender, one tailgate, two bumpers, two trailer hitches, four tail light assemblies, one spare tire hanger, one bed valence, one drivers seat back recline mechanism, totaled one RX-350, totaled one Jeep Commander.total cost for insurance companies would have bought me a new truck and paid taxi fare for the inept texters for ten years. I have concluded that,for all practical purposes; using a cell phone while driving is the same as drunk driving and that walking with the cell phone in front of your face is the same as public drunkeness. damn shame the public laws don't apply....
Crossing the road with a cell-phone to her ear...she has marked herself for an early grave. It's Darwinian.
ReplyDeleteToo dumb to live. It could be a song!
