"I have no problem with this."

I don't like people who text and drive either, but I do have a problem with the federal government holding states hostage to federal funds in order to make states do something the fed has no authority to control.

"Their legislation would require states to ban texting or e-mailing while operating a moving vehicle or lose 25 percent of their annual federal highway funding."

well, it’s not like the states have a right to federal $. If you want federal $, you have to meet federal conditions. Otherwise raise the money yourself.

I agree 100%

I am not a fan of Assault rifles and cannot ever see myself owning one. BUT, I would never concede my right or anyone else owning one.

Stupid is what stupid does.
