Priorities
The self-righteous liberals, lobbyist's and politicians again congealed and passed the smoking ban. One more freedom of the individual and property owner has been infringed upon by our fabulous elected officials. Will they ever use any common sense?
A few months ago I took a friend for a boat ride. While driving home, I had to hit the brakes hard three times. The third time was real close. Had there been a vehicle in the middle lane of Rt.30, I would have hit her broadside, she never looked my direction. And remember I was pulling a boat. All three times the people were talking on cell phones. A month later a girl came around a curve and came into my lane. I headed for the ditch and barely missed an electric pole to get out of her way. She was yelling into phone as she approached.
Driving is a privilege. However being on the road is a necessity. Unless you can walk to work, and afford to have your food delivered, you have no choice. And be it as a driver, or passenger, walking, or riding a bike you have the "right" to be on the road. Tax money built those roads, they're "public property."
On the other hand, bars, restaurants and such are "private property," and definitely not a necessity, nobody has to go in there. It's your choice!
It's about priorities. The same people that took the right for someone to allow smoking in their own "private property", (Where nobody has to go to begin with.) take their children out on the "public roads" where a lot of people are not driving safely.
That's wrong!
And how many of those people talk on cell phones while they drive???
I dare you to challenge this logic.
