Henry Santoro's 180: Covering Half of Everything

On Beacon Hill it’s going to get ugly before it gets better - ‘Texting on cell phones while driving has become a peril’. Henry is SICK of people texting and driving, and believes that people should lose cell phone/driving privileges. Is it too much to handle for drivers in Masshole? Is the Commonwealth full of multitask’n peeps that can’t possibly put others at risk?

-Callers: Only one truly agreed with Henry, while others boasted about how they were texting all the time. One caller admitted texting while in traffic.

-Henry: Its like drunk driving, your distracting yourself from the road

-Ed: texting and driving is not the same as Drunk driving. I should know!

-Fletcher: It’s like wearing your seat belt when driving up to a road block - everyone does it, and its that easy to dodge. Just continue texting after you pass the cops.

-IMer’s: Im texting to you on my iphone, while driving, in the rain! POW!
