Clear Channel to enhance radio ads with RDS

[Paul Hopfgarten]

More people die from FALLING ASLEEP at the wheel than from any other
distrations. Nader is a blowhard IMHAHO!

(If Nader wants to go the whole 9 yards, he should push from banning all
communication devices, including radio..and make all cars 1 passanger
vehicles so we drivers don't get distracted by our passangers!)

Well, technically, the Naderites are right and as we have all seen, other
motorist distractions, like the stereo dials, food, kids in the car, etc.,
have caused more accidents than cell phones. I think this idea is a bad one
and I don't think it will work.
