[s-cars] Teen drivers and texting..

[jeff postupack]

Um  Chris.. good luck with that.. honestly, maybe your daughter will be in a
school system where keeping up with the rat race of life is not important ,
(and the true ability of a person is appreciated for artistic & creative
value .. blah blah bb) .. where they won't be talking Hollister and
Ambercrombie, body piercing , and boys.

As DJD points out, 'we' lost out on 'that' long ago, my daughter had
unlimited 'comm'  before even I did.. on the other hand, she's always
telling us where she is, who she's with etc.. a requirement in our
household. plus the phone can be located if need be.. hopefully never.

I think there's a product idea in here, as many parents face the same
challenge.

more to follow,
Jeff
