A good factoid; Fact # 1) 38,000 Americans die each year in car accidents. Fact # 2) 1 out of every 4 car accidents involves the use of a cell phone or other electronic device. So, Fact # 3) 25% (1 out of 4) of 38,000 is 9,500 which is about the same number of people who die each year from melanoma. So based on these statistics and the current concern for the loss of life we should take the following actions immediately :

1) The use of Cell phones for anyone under 18 years old should be banned. (its the least we can do / if we can save just one life...)

2) Cell phones should be regulated by the FDA

3) Cell phones should have warning labels on them.

4) All sellers of cell phones should have to go through mandatory training classes before they are allowed to sell cell phones.

5) All cell phone retailers and distributors should also be regulated and audited on a regular basis by the FDA and State.

I am surprised that our faithful public servants have not already picked up on this opportunity to protect the public from the growing menace of people using cell phones while they drive cars. We could also consider;

Banning cars and people. ;)
