I promise not to mention this topic again, but I can't let it go without saying
this: I don't see cell phone usage while driving as a "personal liberty" issue
any more than driving under the influence is a personal liberty issue. If
you're doing something that impedes your ability to concentrate on your driving
at some level comparable to drunk-driving (as has been reported in relevant
studies), that goes far beyond one's own personal liberty.
OK... now I'll shut up.
How many more days, Darlene?????

It's not strictly the lack of relevance to the Gators that makes me
think this subject is better off over at Too Hot. As you noted, we tend to
wander into a LOT of off-topic discussions during the off season, and some of
the ones we've had this off season have been doozies.
I think this subject will invariably lead down the individual rights
vs. public safety debate, much like some other pet subjects (motorcycle helmets
anyone?) have.
We've heard from those that believe that any talking on a cell phone
is unsafe, those who think it's a matter of degree, and those that don't think
it's any worse than other distractions that don't get the same amount of
publicity, so no one should feel left out.
Any further discussion on the topic should not take place on
GatorTalk.
OK?

Good call Ken - I don't see much relevance to the original
subject line...
