		<description>Hey AJ!
You hit the nail on the head when you pointed out that what we really need are stiffer penalties. 

From the very start it&#039;s been illegal to do anything other than drive while behind the wheel. The specific language of the law also makes it illegal to distract the driver so passengers can indeed be ticketed.  

Thanks to traditional media spinning [read: lying through their teeth about] everything our system is more screwed up than ever. An officer enforcing these laws is likely to be hung out to dry by the press even though he&#039;s just trying to avoid having to scrap a body off of the pavement.</description>

		<description>&quot;Texting while driving is not the same thing as talking.&quot;

I agree.  Otherwise, what&#039;s to say murder is not the same thing as manslaughter?  One way or the other, you end up with a body count.  And if one texts while driving, they may also.
