Hrm.. I guess I'm missing something. I'm certainly not saying you presented it wrong - but I'm not seeing it. Since paraphrasing didnt work.. your exact quotes:

"reckless driving" in and of itself is very vague and apparently difficult to prosecute. "

Followed immediately by..

"Yes, I'll grant you the prosecutorial hurdles..."

These two statements sound very much like a "TomAto, TomOto" phrase. The only clarification you add is that you think Texting is more quantifiable than Reckless Driving... but if we were to break every possible way for someone to swerve in their car incorrectly and make laws against it... well..

I think even you would agree thats a bit silly. How long before "changing radio stations" becomes illegal? And yes, this has killed kids.
