   You've been on target mostly, but, I feel you really   
   missed the entire point on this one.   
      
   You must know that it is our *duty*, as American citizens, to   
   fight unjust laws. Our entire nation was founded on that fact,   
   so, I know it is not lost on you.   
      
   It is also our duty to fight unjust laws, any way we can.   
      
   This ticket was fought, in the courts, and it was overturned.   
      
   In addition, I don't think anyone has said there was an inherently   
   unsafe act which happened (remember, the guy was stuck in traffic   
   in LA for quite some time when he pulled out his cellphone).   
      
   Nobody disputed the fact he was using only the GPS.   
   Nobody said he was distracted.   
   Nobody said he was the cause of an accident.   
   Nobody said anything other than he got a ticket for touching   
   his cellphone while in teh car on a public road.   
      
   If you think *that* is a safety concern which must be legistlated,   
   then you and I will have to agree to disagree.   
      
   There was never a safety concern.   
   It was merely blind application of a badly written law.   
      
   Given that, I repeat, it is our *duty* to fight unjust laws,   
   partcularly this unjust law, which serves no purpose other than   
   to force people to disrespect both the people who put the laws   
   into place, and the law itself, and the people who enforce the   
   laws, and who interpret them (when they allow them to stand).   
      
   I just wish I had the resources to fight these unjust laws myself,   
   as, that is the main reason they're not fought more often.
