The MAIN side effects of liberalism. If it feels good, do it. Damn everybody else...

I lost count of how many GD idiots there were on cellphones that tried to kill me when I was riding my motorcycle...

The very same thing can be said about conservative economic policies. Actually, it is human nature and crosses political boundaries to say the hell with my fellow man.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Main difference is that it's NOT my responsibility to WORK for YOUR living.

GOT IT????

And I don't do the texting BS nonsense, nor do I have a cell phone on when I'm driving. DRIVING should be your primary concern when you're DRIVING. NOT cellphones, texting, CDs, GPS, etc.

Most liberals would rather have the opportunity to earn a living and get ahead in life. I have never had any qualms about some of my tax dollars going to help the truly needy who are that way because of things beyond their control. Right now, there are many more job seekers than jobs available.

GPS is also a killer. Some put too much faith in them and they drive off cliffs, drive into lakes, enter dead end streets in really bad neighborhoods, etc.

Give me a good old road map anytime. And never go anywhere without getting good directions and checking the directions against a reliable road map.

Texting on the cell while driving a commercial vehicle is unlawful
