I can understand the ban on driving and texting because you may hurt someone because you aren't paying attention behind the wheel. A ban on texting while walking though? Who are you going to hurt but yourself if you stupidly trip over a curb, walk into a pole, or maybe just maybe break something if you are in such a big rush to get that text out that you fall into a ditch. Does anyone agree with this ban?

To me it seems either a) the government is so broke they are trying to make any new laws they can to get more fines out of us or b) they simply just want to keep eroding more and more of our so called freedoms with more laws, laws they say they pass to make us safer...yeah ok.
