Always Look Both Ways

Image via WikipediaWhen I was growing up I was taught to always look both ways before crossing the street.

Apparently this lesson is not being taught in our modern educational system. It seems that some folks get so wrapped up when talking on their cell phones (or listening to their iPods) that this very important concept is forgotten.
But have no fear. Rather than allow these idiots to be removed from the gene pool some politicians feel that it is their responsibility to step in and try and legislate the problem away. If you don't believe me check this out:
