When is it Acceptable to Use a Cell Phone?
When is it acceptable to use a cell phone? That's really a difficult question. Especially because the answers can differ widely depending on who is responding to them.

If we focus solely on cell phones, we'll have attacked only the very small tip of a very large iceberg.
