   Your diatribe is a bit like what the guy did in the   
   theater to the guy texting his babysitter.   
      
   We have not found reliable evidence yet that the number   
   of ACCIDENTs has any correlation to the absolutely astounding   
   growth rate of cell phone use, from zero to near 100%.   
      
   Of course, that evidence may exist, but, until it does,   
   nobody can conclude that the use of cellphones has *any*   
   significance on the number of accidents.   
      
   Certainly we're all in agreement that it has nothing to do   
   with the number of fatalities (or, if it does, then something   
   else pretty big is affecting fatalities since they are decidedly   
   *not* rising).   
      
   So, why is the guy a "moron" if none of us (myself included)   
   has shown *any* correlation with accidents rising concomittently   
   with cellphone useage?
