Pedestrians, it should be our right to be distracted. It should be our right to walk and listen to music / look at the sky / cute dogs / snowflakes and not worry about getting killed. Nothing about that is dangerous except for CARS. Don't let them make you believe you are the problem.
@mbonsma So, great, there are no cars nearby, but you just trampled Mrs. Henry's flower bed, caused a bicycler to have to swerve and run into a fence, and then fell down a manhole and broke both legs.
