They're kidding, I trust.
No, really, fine you $100 for every time you walk across a crosswalk with your earphones on or your Blackberry out? If the government wants to wholesale steal my iPod, why can't they just do that? Then I won't be at risk of having $500 gouged out of my bank account every day when I walk to work (and $500 for when I walk back, so $2k because I go home for lunches...).

Date: 2007-02-07 09:35 pm (UTC)I would like to make another proposal since its being discussed due to a girl who was listening to her iPod while walking and could not hear people shout warnings, i would like to know if New York will soon ban deaf people from crossing New York streets as well? You know just in case since they would not be able to hear the warnings either.....

Date: 2007-02-07 09:53 pm (UTC)actually its something i have always hated that they try to pass laws regarding "not being able to hear". There are states that wont allow deaf people to drive since they cant hear anything....neither can people who have their radio and bass turned all the way up. Its my personal cause.
You should have seen my reaction at work when we have 37 diffrent languages you can specify when going to see a doctor and ASL is not one of them. It just blows my mind that some jerk off like this guy is trying to pass a law like this when his basis is something you CANT make a law against.
*grrr*
and honestly still laughing about this being National Hot Breakfast Month (no it is, look it up!!!)
