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.

My cinnamon's ezactly...congress has been passing laws for over 200 years, what else is there to outlaw ???
ReplyDeleteThere'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.
ReplyDeleteOn 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?
I use it to wake up THE FINE PERSON using his/her cell phone that the light has changed,frequently accompanied by appropriate gesture.
ReplyDeleteMotorcycles and traffic light sensors have always been a problem.
ReplyDeleteGet 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteOK adopted this law a while back, give due consideration to traffic & safety, and if the light won't change you can go through
Speaking of Frank, how bout those cocks? Way to go SC
ReplyDeleteIts just not right, but kind of fun to watch.

I'm afraid 'tis true. No Happy Hour in Utah.
ReplyDeleteHaving 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.
