When people are doing things that are detrimental to their own well being, then government should step in,” Kruger said.

^^^^ That about sums up what is wrong with America. Our Government is full of idiots who have no understanding of the Constitution.... but I have no doubt that the left will argue that this is covered under 'General Welfare'. Fucking idiot.

I think one of the problem is that iPod volumes go up too high. People turn them up to 10 and would turn them up to 11 if they could.

The Federal Government should mandate that iPods can only go up to a volume of 9.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – After targeting distracted drivers, some New York lawmakers want to go after distracted walkers. They are looking to ban them from using iPods, music players and cell phones while walking and crossing the street.

“We have people who are literally dying in the street,” Kruger said.

“When people are doing things that are detrimental to their own well being, then government should step in,” Kruger said.

The fine for violating the law would be $100, which supporters hope will be enough to stem what they think is a disturbing trend — a slight increase in fatalities.

NYC just can't get a grip on the big issues, so this is the kind of shit the politicians work on.

I wonder if they will outlaw deaf people.

Of course the Dems are going to protect these idiots from themselves. If we allowed them to eliminate themselves from the gene pool, there would be no one around to vote for the Dems and the socialists.
