No I disagree. I liked your first statement better. If lawmakers(polititions) were so concerned about your health while driving, then ban booze. More people are killed by drunk drivers on the highway, We know prohibition doesn't work, its outside the governments control. Anyone can make booze in the comfort of their home. Same with certain drugs, I'm referring to the leafy kind. Lawmakers (politicians) get on a make me feel good bandwagon knowing full well its not going to work, but it sure does look good for reelection purposes. BUT since people can't create a cell phone AND if they were that concerned about our lives they could just shut the whole cell phone industry down with a push of a few key strokes and really go around and brag about how many lives they saved. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. The value of dead people on a highway is not worth as much money as the cell phone industry.
EDIT: As an example for all you guys and gals that were around during the Ford Pinto days and their are a lot of other examples about how the industry(Industry is intertwined with politics) values your life. It was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, through testimony and mail, that Ford thought it was cheaper to payout cash to everyone that sued, then to have a recall of the Ford Pinto, caused by the faulty placement of the gas tanks Ultimately Ford lost and the Pinto went away like the DoDo bird. This is the beautiful system we live in. If you still think this isn't happening, better put your head back in the sand.
