Subjecting the universe to your private conversations that have no business being talked about in public has zip to do with either safety or security, and everything to do with self-centered behavior on the part of the talker.<BR/><BR/>If a friend calls me for a non-emergency reason on my cell and I'm in a public place or on a bus, I use the good manners my parents bestowed on me and politely tell them I'll call them back when I'm in a position to talk freely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-38808540201255314612008-01-03T08:28:00.000-05:002008-01-03T08:28:00.000-05:00Cell phones are a safety and security issue.

There's no expectation of privacy in public for the phone user so he can't complain if you break into his phone conversation. Of course you can't be said to have any private space in public that the user is violating either. Enclosed places like a restaurant might be a different case. I don't like all the noise either but if you live here that's what you are going to get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-70418323717055301522008-01-02T11:28:00.000-05:002008-01-02T11:28:00.000-05:00You really need to get out of NY.You <I>really</I> need to get out of NY.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512231582715592098noreply@blogger.com
