I'm not sure it's a good thing to legislate common sense. For one thing, it kind of renders moot the whole idea of  'common sense'. The latest example that comes to mind is the 'no texting while driving ' laws going into effect in various states. And yet  those very same states have no specific law banning driving while doing crossword puzzles. Perhaps it's intuitive, not doing crossword puzzles while driving, where as texting is so new, our DNA hasn't had time to absorb all the latest technology, pass it on to our instincts, which then will let us know in a cognitive way, "bad". Until that time, (seemed to have happened rather quickly in the case of crosswords), we got the Law! Right here I better explain that I have enormous respect for the law. The Law. That's why in this case and others, I think the Law is misused. This kind of law is either unenforceable, or is subject to discretionary enforcement. And you know as well as I do that driving while texting is not intrinsically unsafe, that would depend entirely on the skill of the driver as a texter and as a driver, and, of course, circumstances. We live in an era of Massive Mindlessness. All things must be 'idiot proof'. So we get these kind of laws. Meaning that the cop can let his mood decide if you get a ticket.  Kind of like seat-belts. We already have a bunch of those kind of laws. They debase The Law. We have no problem breaking these laws for years. If and when we get a ticket, we wonder if cops don't have better things to do. Must be trying to make their 'quota'. Or whatever whiny thing that pops to mind when the 'Law' comes to visit. So now we have 'serious law', and 'not so serious law'. Why not just have one empirically comprehensive Felony Stupid Law. This would unclutter a lot of courts and eliminate the need for a great many lawyers. I'm sure there must be a downside, but I can't think of it right now.
