Yeah,I agree but in good ole Texas with our buddy-buddy governor and his good friends in the telecommunications industry, they have combined to kill a bill to control cell phone use for the third straight legislative session. These big companies and the legislators really don't care if people get killed as long as they get their money. Pi$$es me off to no end.




Ah come on, Dick. I'm "sure" there wasn't any deals made down there between your governor and legislature, and the telecommunications industry! Noooooo!!!

I'd bet it's more the idea that those good ole boys down there just didn't think that any government had any right to tell folks that they can't do two things at once while they're drivin' themselves around! Yeah, THAT'S IT alright!!!

I mean, geeeee, isn't that the very thing that I keep readin' that folks around here are tired of??? That bad ol' government tellin' folks what they can do and what they can not do???

(well, at least I'll bet that THAT'S the argument the afforementioned telecommunication industry down there told the governor and those legislators o' yours as they wrote those big fat checks to each of their respective re-election campaigns anyway, HUH?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
