unintended consequences: texting ban

Idaho legislative geniuses recently joined those of many other states to ban texting while driving. It’s a perfect example of government applying simplistic solutions to complex problems. Problem: too many drivers are thinking about something else while driving. Solution: make a law against texting while driving.
