We can't trust people to not text while driving, so let's not provide traffic updates using new technology.
As usual, the left wants a nanny state.
I don't really see any problem or real irony here. I don't use twitter myself, but I could see a use case where you check twitter before leaving the driveway or having a passenger check it while driving.
I'm sure some twits people WILL in fact check it while driving, but that doesn't mean the information shouldn't be published.
Bill Hicks: sounds like your diaper needs to be changed.
Let him soak, David. He doesn't need a nanny state to change it.
WAAAA! WAAAA!
Are there "think" tanks or college Republican groups who hire people to just surf the Internet and leave right-wing loony comments all day? I try not to waste too much time with comment boards and such (you're just lucky, Mr. Bors) but everywhere I look, the A.V. Club or whatever, there's some jerk posting about the "left" and the terrible plans they have for America.
Or maybe right-wing ideas are just so persuasive on their own that such postings are naturally ubiquitous.
