Less Death on Wheels Pt. 2

It appears my indignant ranting may be having some type of osmotic effect on the internets, seeping down into the hate-mail strewn in-boxes of our state legislators. There is a bill in the works that would ban texting while driving, a move that is years behind the times. California passed a similar bill last year, and went into effect at the beginning of this one. It seems that our law-makers were able to pull their collective heads out of their hindquarters long enough to catch a hint of a problem far more serious than private clubs and visible liquor mixing in restaurants. I seriously hope that this gets passed, and if it does, I promise right here that I will actually obey this law, not only so I can feel a sense of smug superiority over those that don't and the ones who get busted. Oh, the unbridled self-satisfaction I'll feel if I see those bars light up behind some inconsiderate text-er weaving on the freeway. I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it now. Let's all hope that this becomes law, and not too far in the future. Seriously, our roads are dangerous enough as it is.
