Anyone running their mouth on a cell phone and jaywalking should be considered fair game to stop and beat the shit out of them, or just run them over.

It is not the responsibility of automobile drivers with the right-of-way

 There is no such thing as "an automobile driver with the right of way."
 It's basic driver's ed. You NEVER "have" the right of way. Instead, there are various situations where you must yield the right of way. You only proceed when none of those situations exist.
 One of those situations, of course, is a pedestrian in your path. No matter how heedless or annoying they may be, you have no right to hit them with your vehicle or even drive in a way that threatens to do so.

Of course not, but we can still fantasize if we want to :-)

   The Real Bev severely cut the 'Newsgroups: line (without saying so).
The original list apparently was:
 Newsgroups: comp.mobile.android,misc.phone.mobile.iphone,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.society.liberalism,talk.politics.guns
    I think that says enough.

Mea culpa, I usually mention that other newsgroups were snipped.
I snip for two reasons.  The most important one is that I refuse to encourage flamage, which is apparently the intent of many original posts.  The second is that Thunderbird refuses to send to more than one newsserver at a time.  Since I have no way of knowing (without spending far more time than is warranted) which groups come from which servers, I snip the ones I'm not involved in.
I do apologize for not giving notice, though.
