...for everyone bitching about my bringing up cell phones:

yes, I think there is a connection between the indiscriminate use of cell phones and the indiscriminate use of SUVs. The indiscriminate (unnecessary, gratuitous) use of cell phones and SUVs (or both at the same time) is generally practiced by people who, it seems to me, are so self-absorbed that they don't CARE that they are adding to the environmental problem, or the continuing insularity and narcissism of our culture, or risking their lives and the lives of others with unsafe driving practices (that's for the ones driving the SUVs while talking on their cell phones).

I did not use the word EVIL. (That was another thread I believe). But do feel free to interpret my words any way you will.

Cell phones don't annoy people; people with cell phones annoy people.
