I'm with Carl Webb on this one.
If you as a parent aren't smart enough to realize that second
hand smoke in a car is bad for your children, then perhaps it
is up to the government to "encourage" you to get more
"educated."
Are we (and our children) safer with such "government"
intervention?
On Friday I was sitting patiently in a long line of cars that
was waiting - as reguired by law - while an elementary school
bus was discourging its precious cargo at the Kayhi pool.
I saw people nervously tapping their steering wheels, probably
in a hurry to be somewhere. I suspect these are the same folks
who quickly pass a school bus the minute the yellow light comes
on.
Many, many, many years ago, I had a elementary school classmate
killed because a car zipped around a stopped school bus and hit
him. I don't believe there was a law against it back then.
