Florida legislators, Stupid or on the take

This is a test


THIS PICTURE DEPICTS,

A. The leader of a Mexican Marijuana drug cartel counting his illegally gained profits from the  sale of a drug that does not kill anybody.

B. A Florida legislator counting his illegally gained profits taken from the wireless industry to look the other way while cell phones continue to kill our loved ones on the killing fields we refer to as Florida's highways.


If you chose "B" we would have to guess you are correct.  We say guess because we can not without evidence accuse our legislators of taking money from the telecommunications industry to be stupid. Despite the fact that last session a Senators aide told us (in the Senators office) that wireless dollars were flooding the capital.

We can however state unequivocally that if the states legislators are not on the take and still supporting bills that ban everything having to do with a cellphone except talking on one, despite the evidence that it is the "conversation" that is the danger then they are in fact stupid.

Maybe stupid is to strong a word. Maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe instead of stupid they are just gutless, selfish, individuals afraid of doing the right thing due to their desire to:

A. Get re-elected
B. Refrain from hanging up and driving themselves.

After all, the evidence is no longer "theory" or "suspicion" or "maybe's".  The evidence, that every politician in the state of Florida has to be aware of unless they have had their head up their collective asses (which we must assume is the case), is that driving while talking on a cell phone is equal to driving while at DUI level of impairment. Which is almost as dangerous as driving while impaired by a Florida legislators brain.

Now of course, far be it from us to be politically incorrect at the expense of alienating legislators that could be of help in saving lives on Florida's highways.  However judging from the past years of ineptitude, deal making, loop hole creating, posturing, nauseating disregard for the lives of their constituents we see no need to treat them any different than what they are, Scum Bags!

Who of course will be falling all over themselves crying and deal making to get a bill passed banning cell phone conversations only after one of their own children are killed by one of Florida's many drivers, who also aware of the evidence against cell phone conversations while driving, think they are above the science and that they have a right to use their 3000 pound vehicle to maim and kill anybody that gets in their way if they are interfered with discussing Oprah's recent decision to end her show.

And as much as I would like to put the total blame on these poor excuses of humanity that slither through out the halls of the legislature on there bellies like crack whores trying to suck up another dollar bill before their term limits are up, I can't.

The blame of course lies on us, who would place our own selfish interest over the lives of others!

  1. All we need is another law controlling another aspect of our lives. What's next no radios, how about banning scratching? [Ihad an itch on my foot the other morning on the way to work Ijust had to get at. 60 miles an hour digging into my boot]. Why don't we just ban private ownership of vehicles altogether? Look at all the lives saved. Motorcycles also. Lets not forget boats, Wasn't Sonny Bono killed while sking? Has to go. Skydiving, out of here. Sure has been a lot of plane crashes at air shows lately, let's pass a law.
    Never mind, I agree, lets pass the law. My wife also has a bad habit of calling me as she is driving home from work. [ Yes dear, where you at? Oh, I'am pulling inti the driveway now.]
    Yes, I believe I could accept just a little more intrusion into my freedom.

  2. Dennis, comparing Apples to oranges is not fair to the question. Sonny Bono made a choice to engage in an action may put himself in danger but probabilities would dictate, not others. I wold support no law that infringed upon his right to do that.

    On the other hand when you are granted the "privilege" to drive, you enter into a social contract the stipulates you will do your best to get from point a to point b without killing somebody innocent by engaging in selfish and stupid actions.

    All the scientific data demonstrates that using a cell phone hands free included is the equivalent of driving while intoxicated. So by your argument then I would say o.k. then, it is only fair to repeal driving while under the influences laws.

    I do not like laws. I wish we did not have as many as we do. However Freedom is not free, it comes with the responsibility to exercise you freedoms judiciously, in a manner that will not infringe on my right to use the "public" highways without a target on my back.

    A number of laws we have are because some people erroneous believe that they have the right to act selfishly in a manner that infringes on the rights of others.

    Almost all crashes are the result of negligence, distracted driving and substance use. If you want engage in that behavior on a private road that will allow you to do it, go for it. You have no constitutional guaranteed right to engage in such actions on a public road paid for by taxpayers the prefer you do not by selfish negligence kill them.

    You want to make a phone call, pull of the road. And yes, you no my lady does all the time also.
    We have fought about it. I'm powerless, I can not make her quit.
