Sebastian Gibson" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/r.-sebastian-gibson/86008.htm">R. Sebastian Gibson</a> If you've had an accident as a pedestrian in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, La Jolla, Del Mar, Laguna Beach, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Buena Park, Huntington Beach, Carlsbad, Mission Beach, Santa Ana, Pacific Beach, Fullerton, Hermosa Beach, Palm Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Manhattan Beach, Corona, Temecula, Santa Barbara, Fullerton, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Orange County, or La Quinta, you may have wondered if the legislators of California are doing anything to prevent pedestrian accidents from happening. I had heard that California's state legislators were rushing to pass new laws outlawing certain activities while driving, so I called one of my state Senators to see if they were doing anything to prevent pedestrian accidents. It was not what I was expecting. "So you're not just focusing on the car drivers?" I asked. "Hah!" the Senator exclaimed. "The auto industry needs all the help they can get. We're focusing on the real cause of accidents - inattentive pedestrians." "Pedestrians cause most of the accidents?" I asked skeptically, "What about the inattentive drivers?" "They've got a lot on their minds, what with the economy and all," the Senator said. "So what are you going to prohibit pedestrians from doing?" I asked. "For one thing, no more jogging," the Senator said. "Lots of joggers get hurt, especially when they wear those things in their ears and listen to music, instead of traffic noises." "That's not good," I said. "People need exercise." "That's what gyms are for, and home exercise machines," the Senator said. "Besides, in this economy, those industries need some help too." "What about eating," I asked. The Senator frowned. "The fast food industry wouldn't like that. But no more walking drunk." "You mean I can get breathalized when I walk home from a bar?" "Get a taxi," the Senator said. "The taxi drivers of America need some help too." "Okay, are you making it an offense to be reading?" "No, we want to promote literacy," the Senator said. "But no more protesting and holding up signs that make drivers try to read them." "Why?" I asked. "Because protesters are usually against things that are Republican," the Republican Senator said. "What else are you outlawing?" I asked. "Well, you'd probably be surprised what some people do while walking." "Nothing would surprise me," I said. "I'm a personal injury lawyer." "Naturally, you won't be allowed to play football in the street." "That's a shame," I said. "School kids love to throw around a football or play baseball in the street." "They get hit going out for a pass," the Senator said. "But they can still play baseball," the Senator said proudly. "What's the difference?" I asked. "Baseball is America's pastime," the Senator said. "Besides, every window that's broken helps the economy too." "Will pedestrians still be able to ride skateboards?" "Forget it." "How about drinking coffee?" "Just one brand," the Senator said. I looked at the brand of coffee in his hand. "We decided to give them a break," the Senator said. "Sounds like you won't be able to do much as a pedestrian anymore," I said. "Just the one thing we want the American public to do most," the Senator said. "What's that?" I asked. "What else?" the Senator said. "Shop." News note - On October 1, 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger banned motorists from texting, writing or reading messages on electronic devices.
