Default From the state that brought the country mandatory seat belt laws and...

...is first in the nation for taking away personal liberties, there's a bill about to be passed in New York State to outlaw the use of handheld cellular phones in vehicles.

Personally, I think that it's a great idea! I can reload my Mac-9 in half the time if I use the hands-free option of my cellular phone while driving..... :-)<ul><li><a href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010622/us/cell_phone_ban.html">NY to ban handheld cellular phone use</a></li></ul>

Default I think the next thing should be radios, TV's, maps, makeup, newspapers, walkmen, HVAC controls . .

what else should be removed from the car to make certain that people keep 100% of their attention on the road?

The lawmakers already know people will continue to dial the phone, but the law will clearly state that you are supposed to pull off to the side of the road to dial the phone, then connect up with your hand-free device and pull out onto the road, then pull off to the side of the road to hang the phone up again! That is what one of the State Senators said on the news! lol These guys are a bunch of idiots! lol

Default Sorry, but my weapon du jour is an AK-47 with the folding stock. Unfortunately, the...

...30-round clip won't fit out the side windows in my TT, hence my use of a lesser weapon when bustin' caps on the gangtstas...... :-)

Wowzers that's gorgeous!! Nice furniture. Stamped or milled? If it's really yours I'm *definitely* jealous. Mine's just a lowly little Norinco but it gets the job done. :^P

Default Dunno Gina... me thinks the uproar will squash any attempts to do that....

I more worried about the soccer moms blasting around in the F'n huge SUV's that always seem to tailgate me... I think 5-6 screaming kids is way more of a distraction than a cell phone...
