Acting Irresponsible? There Might Be A Law To Save You.

Because there's nothing people need more, than another totally lame useless law.
A state senator from Brooklyn said on Tuesday he plans to introduce legislation that would ban people from using an MP3 player, cell phone, Blackberry or any other electronic device while crossing the street in either New York City or Buffalo.
…
"While people are tuning into their iPods and cell phones, they're tuning out the world around them," Kruger said. The proposed law would make talking on cell phones while crossing the street a comparable offense to jaywalking.
If people "tune out the world" to the point they get hit by a car, why penalize the rest of us who pay attention and take responsibility for our own lives?
iPods and Blackberry's don't kill people. Some might call this "thinning of the herd".
