I object to the loud calls made in public which disturb other people and lets face it, most of those conversations are certainly not crucial. I did not say do away with cell phones or even comment on using it while you drive...my comment was about how intrusive they can be to others who do not want to hear it. My other comment was a social commentary question...which is why do people feel they need to be available to everyone at all times? I give my cell phone number to about 6 people who might need to reach me in an emergency. Others can just leave a message at the home phone.
