So there was a crash between two trolleys up in Boston the other day, injuring 50 people. The cause? A trolley operator was too busy texting his girlfriend, since his attempt to call her moments before had not gone through.W

This business of texting people WHILE DRIVING totally boggles my mind. I actually saw some idiot doing that on the interstate the other day. I could not believe it. This guy is zipping along at over 70 mph in a vehicle that was well over a ton... he's less than 5 ft away from me, and he's concentrating on the words on his little Blackberry and only occasionally glancing at the road in front of him.
What could POSSIBLY be important enough for these people to risk their lives and the lives of countless people around them... just to be able to keep in instant touch at all times?
