   Ridiculous, and a non sequitur. Not the same subject, not the same   
   league.   
      
   > > I don't care if Satan supports it.   
   > He does. His name is Senator Joe Mcc... I mean Simitian.   
      
   Also ridiculous.

   Quite sane. Anything that takes a driver's attention away from the task   
   at hand is a threat to public safety.   
      
   > It even includes paper maps, I might add.   
      
   Paper maps--clumsy to use, difficult to read--should be near the very   
   top of the list of items forbidden to use while driving.   
      
   --   
   I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that   
   you will say in your entire life.
