why does oprah care more about people talking on cell phones while driving than murder and rape?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Oprah could read your email on an upcoming show.
Send Oprah your show suggestions.
Share your personal thoughts on the stories.
I will go out on a limb and say you are incorrect in your presumption.
Good luck and hopefully you can get your points across to the Oprah Show's producers.

I would imagine that her reason for doing the show was that not many people are aware of the serious effects of talking on cellphones while driving, and think it is ok to do it. Likewise policy makers don't take it seriously because the public does not take it seriously.
More people are killed in the US in road traffic accidents every month than were killed on 9/11.
Talking on cellphones has been shown to seriously impair people's driving ability.
Yet I suspect that you are one of the people looking for an excuse to not stop doing it, and indignant that anyone would dare to suggest that something you want to do is a bad thing.
Tell me why do you care about the convenience of talking on the phone while driving more than you care about people being killed and maimed on the roads?
And why do 37,000 people killed on the roads not matter compared to 14,000 who are murdered?

I suggest you stop taking pot shots at Oprah, and give thought to what your own priorities are on this issue.
