It really must be nice to get paid to go around making laws , everytime something annoys you.
Seems to me that there is a question we should be trying to answer if we are going to have this discussion.
That question being:
How is it that our society has so many jerks with no inkling of common courtesy so as to give legislators pause to even consider regulations such as this?
IOW, stuff like this probably wouldn’t see the light of day if so many people in our society did not believe that their “rights” excused them from extending basic common courtesy and consideration to those around them.
It’s no accident that some places of commerce have signs telling people either turn off cell phones or not use them in certain areas.
I took my wife to the ER Monday (false alarm thankfully) and while she was in her room the nurse told us that they have a problem with visitors sitting there yakking on their cell phones while the doctor goes over things with the patient. I mean standing right next to the doctor. I’m open to suggestions as to how we deal with morons like that.
