 I'll keep my other opinions on cell phones to myself, thank you very much.

And your point is what exactly? Saying that "having a cell phone encourages 
people who SHOULD know better to do STUPID things." sounds kinda stupid 
itself.
Last time I checked, my cell phone hadn't encouraged me to do anything stupid 
(except maybe pick up a loaf of bread, or maybe some milk or ice cream). 
Though I guess that could be stupid if I was lactose intolerant.  

Sounds like you take all capability for thought away from people who own a 
cell phone.  What are you, mister authority on what everyone else should do, 
and the 
all knowing mister "I never make any mistakes"? 
I guess if I trip and fall in my house, it's because I have a wireline phone, 
and maybe because I live alone, and because I wasn't wearing shoes.....   
Give it a rest...
