A new state law every 13 minutes

       WHAT GUMMINT DOES


                   A new state law every 13 minutes

“

In 1925 it would have taken you 12 days to read all the United States’ federal laws and regulations if you plowed through about 200 pages per day. Today that same task would take you three years. You can thank the 5,000 pages of Obamacare and Dodd–Frank for the extra 25 days of study.

And none of this even counts state laws, of which we now have 40,000 new flavors. Utah has banned Happy Hour. Illinois motorcyclists can now run red lights if they don’t change quickly enough. And if you want to drive a golf cart in Georgia, it simply must have a horn. [Full]

Sorry folks, but our governments are a deadly cancer. What's the treatment for cancer? Amputation and radiation.

Alear said...: There's a horn in my car, but I don't know what it sounds like. Moving at speed when there's a situation, I can maintain, brake, accelerate, or swerve. Beeping never occurs to me, as it would do no timely good. The folks who do beep seem to do it for no other reason than express dissatisfaction, at me or some other driver. At which point, it's a needless distraction.

On a golf cart through say a retirement community, I can see it doing some good. Mostly, to draw attention to your neighbor to smile and wave. (Of course I don't believe they should be mandated. Silly gummint.)

Turing word: anglo. Was that just some wild guess?; 1/2/12, 1:53 PM

Get back to me when you have spent time on a motorcycle at a red light at 3 AM that will not change because you are the only person at the intersection, and the stupid fucking sensor under the tarmac can't detect your bike.; 1/2/12, 3:49 PM
Firehand said...: I second Kristopher; been there, and it sucks. Not just early morning, either: I've sat in a left-turn lane through multiple cycles because nobody else needed to turn left.

OK adopted this law a while back, give due consideration to traffic & safety, and if the light won't change you can go through; 1/2/12, 4:09 PM

Having moved here from Maryland, I can safely say being a drinker here is akin to being a gun owner there. That is to say, oppressive and irritating, but utterly ineffective at preventing anyone from getting what they want.; 1/4/12, 12:20 PM
