I watched a Dr. Phil episode last night (I think it aired Monday) about teens text messaging while they are driving. I sat there slack jawed and couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. The teenager seated next to Dr. Phil was smiling and was not in the least moved by the story of the deaths of 5 cheerleaders nor the bicyclist that were direct results of text messaging while driving. She actually said that the girls died because the driver wasn't a good text messenger. What made me even crazier is the mom that said "I tried to take her phone away, but she cried." I wanted to reach through the TV and slap her.
I made mention of this program at my work break room today and a young 20 something said "oh yeah, I do it all the time."
I guess my question is, where can I buy a tank? It doesn't have to have weapons, I just want to protect myself from these clueless, selfish twits that have taken over the roads.
