Salty, I am with you 100% on the fact that texting and driving is dangerous. My problem lies with people telling me what I can and can't do, as the issue arises as where to draw the line.
I used to commute to downtown (Houston) via METRO and was always amazed by what I would see people doing in their cars - full spread newspapers over the steering wheel, reading books, shaving, putting on make-up, eating, etc... You can't tell me that performing any one of these activities is any less dangerous than texting. So, if you are going to ban one thing, you have to ban it all.
