Do We Need A Law Against Walking Into A Train?

Filed under: Main — Ryan Jones @ 11:28 am

While sitting at Friday’s for dinner a few days ago, Adam, Chad, and I noticed a news program about a proposed ban on text messaging while walking. Now, I understand the dangers of texting and driving and I usually yell at other motorists who do so. But walking?

It turns out it’s just another omg reaction law. Some kid was hit by a train while texting. So do we really need a law? How about a better law: Don’t walk into a train. It seems the kid was just an idiot. We can’t legislate stupidity – no matter how hard we try.
