The theory being that some soccer mom might get stuck in traffic right beside the offending SUV and her kids would be exposed to a little Deep Throat through two car windows and a bit of freeway smog. Is it just me, or did people used to "go for a drive" to enjoy themselves outside? Now apparently life is so boring that no American should ever be seperated from TV, DVD, cel phone and headphones for even an instant." Jeez, you sound like me! Though I usually phrase it, "Kids these days think they are being deprived and unduly punished when they can't go from point A to point B without benefit of some sort of electronic (read: video) entertainment...even if it's only a 15-minute drive." And on the other item...the movies. I keep wondering why there is such a huge uproar about x-rated movies in a vehicle on a 9-inch screen that one (it would seem) need to be within 6-8 feet of in order to see what is going on (though I understand the concern). MORE in need of attention, IMO (note I didn't say "imHo"), are the lyrics that stream from open-windowed vehicles from amplifiers and speakers capable of handling a concert. Most recent example was when I was with our troop of Brownie Scouts selling cookies in front of Publics and 2 guys drove by with all sorts of lyrics (audible from 50-75 feet) drove by our stand. Lyrics talking about how this guy had f****d this girl real good and now she was his bitch. All I had time to do what run in front of the girls and try to capture there attention with a loud voice about how well we were doing till the car exited sound range. I object to this much more than video since one needn't not be so close to be assailed by unwanted and disgusting "art" and freedom of speech and self-expression. Bottom line? The whole world is a community just as R'City is one. And within either community, one should try to balance your rights/privaleges with the rights of those around you.
