Rights???? HAHAHA. You have a right to drive a 4000 pound car on
public highways while playing with a phone???? I suppose you have a
right to drive drunk too. URANUTBALL

DVD players in cars are GREAT ideas. I mean, how else are you going to
pass the time when you're waiting for some retarded LLBer to vacate
the lane? I guess there's always solitaire on the laptop, if you don't
have a DVD handy. Of course, now that iPod has games available, I
could always mess with that.

Innocent people aren't involved in automobile accidents; incompetent
people are. Look up the definitions of "innocent" and "incompetent" if
you haven't torn those pages out of your facilities's dictionary yet.

And we need to take radios and CD players out of cars too. Distracted
drivers are MURDERERS.
