Google Glass Fans Freak Out Because....

Folks who are fans of Google Glass are upset because wearing them while driving is not legal in Cal. Gee, wonder why that might be?
I mean who wants distracted drivers piloting the cars around them, they're dangerous enough when they aren't distracted. She posted the news of this along with a pic of the citation on the Google Plus site and elicited 234 responses (and counting). Most of the respondents want her to fight this in court, and one guy even offered to start a legal fee donation site up and find her a good attorney.
All this over some nerdy device that only Google could have come up with...

They aren't called glassholes for nothing.

How can they feel slighted? It's crazy to argue this.

And when one of his family is run over by someone using one of the devices while driving he'll be the first one to bitch about it too.

I'd like to know that also, Capt. Sometimes I wonder if some folks get off on feeling persecuted, slighted, etc. There sure seems to be a lot of it about.

You mean aside from the ones who are yakking on their fucking cell phones, shaving, putting on makeup, texting, headbanging or getting blow jobs?

Shit, I can do all that at once and still drive safely!
Oh wait, you wrote getting, not giving. Nevermind.

Driving is a priviledge, not a right. Before these device laden twits cry about violation of rights, they need to stop and think. Besides, the only rights being potentially violated are the other drivers(and pedestrians) they run into/over.

The level of human stupidity never ceases to amaze me. I am still trying to wrap my mind around how so many people can believe so hard in a fairy tale, and things like this come up. Critical thinking is dying a slow agonizing death.
