That is not nice. It would be nice if he had something like
that come back to bite him on the butt. Karma being a bitch,
as they say.

I don't know about where you live, but here, I'd be damned happy
if they'd enforce the no cell phone while driving law we already
have. I'm pretty sure people won't be pulled over for changing
the radio or sipping coffee.

People are already up in arms about the proposed law, I don't think
it'll pass, but we'll see. I think they're still red in the face
over the runny egg law that got them laughed at a while back.
