That way, if you had a real emergency you could use it, but you certainly wouldn't want to do it all the time.

Hey Stephen. Is this your warped version of Stanley Milgram's classic study on Obedience to Authorit-- I mean, regarding Obedience to the Supreme Dictator for Life???? ;-)

Oh well. We should just skip right onwards to the next obvious step, and imbed the gigahertz receiver/transmission chips directly into the cellphone-driver's head. Oh, and one of my friends is doing a Master's thesis on the effects of cellphone radiation. He made up this nice little birthday card for us, showing the frequency range in which this radiation gets attenuated by being ABSORBED DIRECTLY INTO BRAIN TISSUE. Fun, huh? So, those addicted drivers who go around with the cellphone continually glued to an ear will eventually solve their own "road phone problem" through preemptive Evolution in action... like, say, when they get flattened by going head-on with a tractor-trailer...
