Finally, some sense in Congress

Nothing quite as annoying than some Chatty-Cathy yapping away loudly on a cell.

Now if only they could ban them from cars, restaurants and movie theaters.

*shrugs* May as well ban fatty foods as well, and ugly people wearing revealing clothes. Yay more needless legislature!

I just flew ORD-PDX a few days ago and accidentally left iPhone on. It had 1 bar of AT&T service at 36,000 feet; but i didn't try to make a call or use it.

Meh, different concept. I can still go to sleep next to a fat ugly chick on a transcontinental flight as long as she's quiet. . .

Did you just use "congress" and "sense" in the same sentence?

But seriously, I've never understood the animosity towards cell phones, in places where it is perfectly acceptable to talk to another person who is physically present. In a movie theater? Of course not, because it's not acceptable to talk there at all. Too many idiots do anyway, which is one of many reasons I don't like going to the movies anymore, but that's another rant.

Talking on the phone loudly? That's not OK either, just as having a loud conversation with someone else who is standing on front of you is not OK.

But no one gets upset if someone has a conversation, at reasonable volume, with someone else in a supermarket, restaurant, on a plane, etc. So why is that OK, but having that same conversation on a cell phone is not?
