Step Away From The Cell Phone

Why is everyone so attached to their cell phone? They are the security blankets of the 21st Century. Do we really need a law against texting while driving? How about plain old common sense instead? As long as we are passing these laws I'm advocating for  "No hand held devices while assisting the elderly".  Some poor old man with a walker was beating a path through NYC tourist traffic while his home health aid nonchalantly held on to his belt loop as she chatted away. At least Linus would have used his security blanket to beat a path through those tourists!
