"BLOOD ON THE HIGHWAY!" sensationalist media reports are pretty common in our society, dating to well before d-bags like Ralph Nader. But lets look at the facts. The number one killer of teens is car accidents, and has been for decades. I have three kids and am terrified about them reaching driving age, but it's not because of text messaging. I did a lot of stupid crap as a 16 year old with a car, and I didn't even have a cell phone. One of the many things that I will preach to my kids is to focus on the task at hand, and I will come down hard on them if they don't. It's on me (parent) as well as my teen (responsible party) to teach driver safety, not the govt.

I hate this crap, because it's just one more way to remove personal responsibility from our society. Am I the only one that doesn't want the govt to babysit?
