As a long-time motorcyclist, I will say that I have a certain bigotry directed at those who use their cell-phones while driving. When dealing with my mum during the hieght of the crisis, it was not uncommon to find me talking on two phones at once, and yes one of them was a cell-phone.

I will say San Diego driving is kind of a trip, you’d never know there was a ban on hand-held cell-phones in California based on my experience down there. The police are obviously negligent, I saw two instances where a driver was holding a cell-phone to his head, with a patrol car taking no notice. It is fairly obvious no one is worried about getting pulled over down there.

The idea that he could both foresee the future and also give us spirit and free will to carry out our own desires becomes entirely acceptable.

Have fun world.
