Government Moves to Ban Just About Everything

Our noble leaders, upon surmising the giant hole that is the budget, look to us, the peons to fill that hole -

After targeting distracted drivers, some New York lawmakers want to go after distracted walkers. They are looking to ban them from using iPods, music players and cell phones while walking and crossing the street.

Oh no, distracted walkers! The humanity!!! Cue the sob story about some ignoramus that got killed - 

At E.A.T. restaurant on Madison Avenue they still haven’t gotten over the death of co-worker Jason King, killed last month when a truck hit him as he crossed the street while listening to his iPod. 

Jason was just 21 and his death and along with other accidents involving people using electronic gadgets while walking is why Brooklyn Sen. Karl Kruger is looking to ban things like cell phones and iPods for pedestrians crossing the street.

“We have people who are literally dying in the street,” Kruger said.

(What about natural selection?)

The Real Effect
This insanity will stop when We the People want it to stop. We must elect legislators that will NOT do the following:

1. Legislate to fill the coffers.
2. Legislate to pacify a powerful base. Generally for re-election.
3. Grandstand to create a legacy for themselves.

Instead we need more of the following.

1. Individuals that will remove the obstacles to our liberty and economic prosperity.
2. That will tell these self-righteous bases that want special rights for their groups to shut their pie-holes.
3. Less crimes, less crimes, less crimes. 

Think about it. Then if your tempted to squawk, shut your pie-hole and think some more.
