Please go into your "edit" function and fix that "smarter than Texas" comment!


Do they have a Castle Doctrine Law? Don't worry ... It'll be here soon enough!

People in California also elect people like Pelosi and Feinstein to congress. I just don't think that shows a bunch of smarts.

They also lead the nation in per capita consumption of beer



and wine



and distilled spirits !!!!

Nut

Well,,,
I think exactly the opposite,,,
First off if you state that Californians are smarter than Texans,
but you live in Texas, then you just confessed that you aren't smart enough to make that call.
Since they are smarter , they should be the one to judge.
Which is actually your second strike, the first being not croaking for your own pond.
Strike three comes in the form of giving up. You see I am convinced that Texans are the smrter of the two and to lend evidentiary support to this all you need do is decide who should tell you when to talk or when not to talk.
Should you be from California , and not smart enough to make the decision that in heavy traffic is not a good time to talk on a phone then the State should make the decision for you since you aren't samrt enough.
However in you live in Texas and you know that if the phone rings while you are in bumper to bumoer trafffic, paulling a trailer in, a construction zone, you dan't have to immedialtey answer it since you have caller ID and voice mail, when you get to that stretch between Sonora and Del Rio there will be plenty of time to talk.
I could even give you a fourth strike for establing the pattern that more Government intrusion equals higher intelligence, and since California wants to outlaw all types of firearms that is must be the "smart" thing to do.
Strike five = Everything California does, we must do, because they are "smart".

Just how big an old boy are you anyway!!!

I have the "feeling" that if all the people who think California is so great would turn in there weapons and move there, it would raise the average IQ of both states.

California drivers are a lot more courteous on the road than Texas drivers. There are so many more people; they have to be.
They do things like use their turn signal, allow people to merge into a lane, keep to the right if going slower than traffic etc. It makes things a lot less stressful.
I agree that cellphone use while driving can be hazardous. I believe Highland Park and University Park have the same hands-free law.

it should be law everywhere, i have been to several accidents where the person at fault was on the cell phone and not paying attention. Whats even worse are the texters.

I have pulled over many people under suspicion of DWI, only to find out they were on the phone or texting. Some were weaving so bad they went completely into oncoming lanes!!

Kalifornia smarter than Texas? In a pig's eye!

I suppose that's one of the reasons that Kalifornians have been emigrating in droves the last 15 years. I think that would be the smart ones, how ever many there ever were. And if all the smart ones are jumping ship, that means Kalifornia's getting dumber by the minute. Any state that can't elect a governor any smarter than "Ahnold" (aka Blaster minus Master) has to have an average IQ in the mid-60s anyway.

Kalifornia---land of the fruits and vegetables!
