But if you want to allow the government to run your life that's your choice, mine is to fight against. So in kind your remark is equally contrived and obtuse.<br /><br />If we don't raise our voice when these things are raised then they are pushed and pushed and eventually become law. Helmets in cars would save lives, so why do we not have to wear helmets in cars, but on motorcycles.<br /><br />I'm advocating less government. Chaos does have a certain appeal, but Iraq shows the reality of chaos. So less government and less then what we have now.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-68518840867825008102007-01-24T07:51:00.000-05:002007-01-24T07:51:00.000-05:00"a government that we do not trust in poles" I st..."a government that we do not trust in poles" I still love your typos. Is the government in Poland or has it somehow encased itself in a pole? :)<br /><br />On the topic at hand, however, you appear to be advocating no government at all when you say we should toss it all out and start over. Why is a ticket for speeding ok but not for DUI, talking on a cell phone, etc. They can be equally hazardous on the roads. Do you want to go back to the laws at the time of the founding of the US? Presumably you'd make an exception for slavery. How about letting women vote? Hell, getting out of the constitutional realm, shall we go back to the days when there was no such thing as statutory rape?<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. I think the CA legislator is an idiot. She's not alone, either. There are a lot of anti-spanking, anti-yelling advocates out there. Just check out Nanny 911 or one of those shows on the tube. They're very anti-discipline of that sort. I am not. Just ask my kids. Be that as it may, this legislation has not even been written up as a proposal as yet, last I heard. It's got a lot of opposition in CA, so it's not terribly likely to be a law. So, the diatribe seems both contrived and unnecessarily broad, meandering into other topics of the so called "nanny state".<br /><br />And that's my two cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-58244682828306791362007-01-23T23:08:00.000-05:002007-01-23T23:08:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.com
