I asked a question about personal responsibility and behavior that imposes danger onto others. Is the best answer you can come up is "Maybe we should let you libs outlaw cars"?

Uhh.. and I stated that the very fact someone is on the road endagers others. So is that part of your "personal responsibility" argument or is it only the parts of "endagering" that you feel are relevant?

You all are looking at the symptom of the problem rather than the actual problem. That being cars designed to be controlled by the human driver. It isn't just drunks and phone phreeks that cause accidents. There are people out there making illegal right and left turns, people driving too close to the car in front of them, people running red lights, changing lanes without checking their blind spot, and OMG the speeding. All these incidents cause the loss of human lives, including children. It's time we force auto makers to design cars that drive themselves. I don't care how much they cost. Let the rich complain. And if the poor can't afford one, they can ride a bus. Fuck them all, I say. It's about the children.

I say we install body scanners on all new cars. Every time you talk on your cell phone while traveling in your car, you randomly get body-scanned. And the image gets broadcast on local TV.

I am not not joking.

If you are caught talking or texting on your cell phone, treat it like a DUI. That should cut it down in a hurry.

Amen, it's better than what my older brother wants to do which is to have them shot on site by the side of the road, although I sympathize.

A must admit I have realized that I have become a member of what I used to hate.

An old fuddy duddy.
