There are some things the governement should have a say in, and some things they shouldn't; this being a nation wide problem I am for them having their say. A cell phone is a distraction while driving; talking on one is bad enough let alone how dangerous texting is. What is so important in your life that you can't stop along the side of the road or in a parking lot for a few minutes to carry on a conversation; while putting others lives at risk? This is a nationwide matter that the government should have a say in because it should be the same from state to state. Now I know there will be rebuttles about things such as healthcare and things of that nature. Of course, as all do, and I respect others opinions, I have my own thoughts on that type stuff as well.
