Madam, – There are not many occasions this small, struggling nation of ours is a trail-blazer, but when it is, the results can speak for themselves. Take the smoking ban and the plastic bag tax as good examples. Now I propose another novel idea: we should ban the use of mobile phones in public places.

Thankfully I am not the only person who has grown sick and tired of hearing about some random person’s weekend escapades while I am sitting on a bus. On a recent journey, our innovative driver threatened to throw off one such person if his phone conversation continued. Respect. Let the campaign begin. – Yours, etc,
