The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

Drive and text message. or 'How to kill someone and only get six years in prison'.

Okay...let me wrap my head around this...a 49 year-old woman is so busy paying bills via text that she can't pay attention to 1) her speed 2) her path of travel 3) other vehicles 4) a construction zone.

I would flip the fuck out if I were a relative of the woman who died. This result sends the wrong message to people who prefer to pay more attention to their phone than the 4000 pounds of steel they're responsible for piloting well enough to keep from killing someone with it.

This daffy woman should have her license privileges revoked-for life. You get to choose-'phone' or 'car'. She's clearly chosen the phone-even over the life of another person. She should go to prison for at least twenty years-with two broken thumbs and a cell phone shoved up her ass.

The best part? Under California law, she'll serve 3 years and be eligible for parole...when I'm sure she will seek out her next victim. Should they send her to the electric chair? No-but they should hold her responsible for her actions and lack of responsibility. No more driver's license. Period.

It's true-the real difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits. The trouble is that trying to make something "idiot proof" seriously underestimates the creativity of idiots.

I absolutely agree, those who are arrogant and selfish enough to make themselves first priority over other people when the other peoples lives are in their hands, should definetly be punished severly...god damn ignorants...
