Leave It To The Kooks In Vermont

Not Just Cell Phones

Vermont legislators want drivers to keep their eyes on the road. They're considering a ban not just on cellphones... but also on eating, drinking, smoking, reading, writing, personal grooming, playing an instrument, or interacting with pets or cargo while driving. Violators would face a fine of up to $600.

Representative Thomas Koch, who sponsored the bill, drew from his own experience, saying, quote, "...somebody opposite me was trying to navigate around the corner with a cell phone... in one hand and a cigarette in the other , and she wasn't doing very well."

If the bill passes, you won't be able to comb your hair, pet your dog, or drink coffee... much less play the flugelhorn... while driving.
One U.S. State May Soon Prohibit You From Doing This in Your Car

Ban cell phones! If you are caught with a cell phone that should be a third degree felony punishable by a minimum of one year in jail and a ten thousand dollar fine. I hate cell phones and bring back land lines.

AN FBI-INVESTIGATED ISLAMIST TAKES OVER THE VERMONT DEMOCRATS
A Norquist Islamist reinvents himself as a Bernie leftist.

Vermont Democrats have something else to celebrate besides the creation and failure of the first statewide socialized medicine system in America. Recovering from that glorious triumph, Vermont Democrats have elected their first Muslim state party chairman.

The lucky fellow is Faisal Gill who called his victory a rebuke of President Trump. "To have a Muslim and immigrant to be the state party chair sends a really strong message to Trump and his type of politics that this is not where the country is at."

Gill’s election doesn’t send much of a message about where America is at. But it certainly sends a message about where the Democrats are at.

Back when Gill was playing a Republican, courtesy of Grover Norquist, left-wing media outlets like Salon were willing to report on his troubling Islamist ties. But Faisal Gil has been reborn as a supporter of Bernie Sanders and Keith Ellison. The left has become a warm and moist safe space for Islamists. The Salon article which Gill blamed for many of his problems would be nearly inconceivable today. Could anyone really imagine a leftist publication today describing the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror nexus?

But did Faisal Gill really go from Norquist Republican to Sanders Democrat? Did he shift from believing in free enterprise to embracing Socialism? Or did Gill always hold to an overriding ideology in whose shadow the distinction between Capitalism and Socialism becomes pointless infidel quibbling?

I love Murple (Maple) syrup over waffles or pancakes. Without the Sugar Maple Tree, Vermont would be absolutely worthless.

 

[The Professor]

I understand why some people need to answer their cell phones whenever they ring including when they are driving a two-ton mass of metal at 50 or more MPH. They don't have the right cell phone. I have a special cell phone that is only available to federal intelligence agencies, college professors and accordion players. My phone allows callers to leave a message so that I can call them back at a more convenient and safer time.

There is no reason why anyone would have to make a call or answer a cell phone while driving a car. I never did and my life began long before cell phones were invented. Using cell phones while driving is a known and proven danger for which there is no compelling justification.

Those who, whether through indifference or ignorance, place others is danger should be punished. The punishment for those who use cell phones while driving should be the same as that for any other type of reckless driving.

I don't answer my phone in the car.

But I do eat McDonald's hamburgers while driving.
