Do you support Sen. Carl Kruger’s Cell Phone Ban?
J.J. Jackson* | February 11, 2007 |
New York State Senator Carl Kruger wants to fine you $100 for using your cell phone or other electronic device while crossing the street. I talked about Comrade Kruger’s little power grab over liberties in my article this week: Please Big Daddy Government Save Us! at Liberty Reborn.
NY1 News has a poll on their site where you can voice your opinion too. So far Senator Kruger’s idea is not too popular with only 23% saying that they agree with arbitrary government control one would expect to find in a socialist or communist paradise.
Guess the left still has a long way to go to convince people that they are better able to handle our lives than we are ourselves.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.

Lets do a little emperical research of our own:
According to the “good” senator three people have been killed in the NYC area over about the past six months.
According to NYC officials there are approximately 150 pedestrian deaths a year.
This would make the ratio 3/75 or so to people using electronic devices getting hit. Mathematically, it would make more sense to mandate everyone use an electronic device while crossing the street. It’s emperically safer.
What’s next? A ban on smoking in privately owned establishments?…oh…wait…
