Wonder where Mr. Crapper was when he thought of le toilette...in the woods with maple leaves nearby??
It was predicted about 25 years ago that many people would abandon unlivable cities for the exurbs. I did so 10 years ago and it was the best move of my life.
Meanwhile my brother in Seattle never locks his car. That’s because he has to park outside and break-ins are so common he doesn’t want the bad guys to break his windows.
Well if they pass a law, that will put and end to that practice for sure. Also, eating, drinking(non alcohol) smoking, putting on makeup, adjusting the radio or any other distraction like where we are. Pretty wide range of possible offending deeds when it comes to “distracted driving”.
It’s started in NYC too from what I hear. Magnet cities for immigrants end up with their third-world qualities.
“Is it also illegal in New York to chew gum while walking?”
Or poop on the sidewalk?
Whatever is not mandatory, will be banned.
Nanny State knows best.
It’s soon going to be illegal to exhale carbon dioxide.
A woman texting, with headphones in Portland lost a leg when she slowly jogged into the path of a train. She sued, won $15 million. The Oregonian has the video of the whole thing.

Millenial: Doctor, I’addicted to texting.
Doctor: I’m sorry. You’ll never walk again.
Anyone who's ever been to New York knows there's no need for such a law.Nobody there has ever mastered the technique.
I thought that everyone knew that.But I guess if you're under a certain age...
Illegal or undocumented?
Oh good luck enforcing that one morons
Exactly...I mean, I'm only 68.

I’m of two minds over this one. I don’t like new laws and being fined and taxed for stupid stuff as an excuse for pols to raise and spend money.
On the other hand I have seen walking texters trip, nearly hit or even get hit, or have no situational awareness as to the people and mothers with baby carriages that have to skirt or dodge them as they walk texting away. They are a hazard!
So I see no downside of liberals fining mostly liberal moron texters acting in an unsafe manner. There is no constitutional threat here!
