This is the "meat" of the debate. You as the OP were ranting about why more tickets aren't being givenout because so many people appear to be using cell phones while driving. No one is arguing that there are not a lot of people using cell phones while driving.

The meat of the argument is "so what?" Does this "distraction" cause all the accidents that the emotional posters fear/claim, or does it not? Or is it a "distraction" that can be handled quite well by all but maybe a few Klutzes who may not be able to handle smoking a cigarette, sipping a soda pop, tuning the radio or any of a number of other "distractions" that doesn't raise the hackles of emotional ranters.
