    On an unrelated note, Colorado made texting while driving illegal this year. I wouldn't have done it anyway lol. It's darwinism. The people stupid enough to be looking down in a 70 MPH aluminum death machine deserve what comes to them.
    These days, my computers change so much, all I can say for sure here is ubuntu.

    It's not my place to tell. I believe in a grand plan. Being a victim of a random act of violence, I have to think that if I can keep going, so could anyone else.

    However, this is most likely the type of situation that led our state to make texting while driving illegal.

    Of course, it is always the victim's fault. Just ask BP executives.

    The point is if a person up and throws themselves onto a sword, blows up themselves (and only themselves) up or accidentally shoots themselves, it's Darwinism at work. When you provide a wholesale mechanism that can take non-idiots with the idiot, it's not going to be very effective anymore. Sort of like giving a nuke to everyone and suggesting that hitting the button might not give them donuts. While the smart ones won't touch the button, those who do still kill them.

    I understand the factual point you where making, but I was speaking more in terms of theory and faith. But, we're tangenting. Got any texting stories?

    Might not have been 'Gimped', maybe the reverend/priest (whatever) realises that a bit of humor is the best way to get the message across.
    -------------------

    "The National Safety Council released a report recently that showed 28% of the roughly 1.6 million crashes yearly are caused by drivers on cell phones or texting."

    It has been illegal to text or use a mobile (hands free is allowed for now) in Australia for years.
