TFT: To Pledge or Not To Pledge

I used to like Oprah.......... until I started watching her show.  I realized she is just an annoying woman who interrupts everyone that comes on her show.  Back in my days blogging on myspace I once wrote a blog about how much I hate her.  I'm not here to do that again.

Today I am here because I'm in a bit of a pickle.  Oprah has this "No Phone Zone" pledge - which basically gives you the option, should you choose to take it, of pledging to make your car a) free of texting while driving b) free of texting and only using a hands-free device while driving or c) free of both texting and phone; you commit to pulling over to a safe location if you want to do either.

My confession: I text while I drive.  I also talk on my phone while I drive, which I don't think is nearly as bad.
My thoughts: This pledge is a fantastic idea!
My pickle: I hate Oprah and I don't want to support anything that she promotes or [probably] gets money from, but I want to pledge to do this. Somehow in my feeble little mind I feel like committing by actually filling out a pledge form would make it more 'real' thus being more likely to follow through with it.

So for now, I'm just thinking about it, meanwhile trying to cut {way} down on texting while driving.

Since it's Thursday, let's turn this into a TFT, Thoughts for Thursday: Do you text while you drive?  If not, have you made the conscious effort to not?  If so, have you ever thought of stopping?  If you hated Oprah like I do, would you just suck it up and sign this pledge or stand your ground and try to do it on your own?

{ps. I've thought about removing the "Oprah" label from my blog many times being that I only had one post that used it... but now I have to keep it - I'm not sure how I feel about that}
