Posted by David of Broadway on Sun Sep 9 12:45:47 2007, in response to Re: More insane laws, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Sep 9 12:26:23 2007. What about the freedoms of people who enjoy smoking while reading? Why am I not free to smoke while reading a book in the library? (Answer: Because, if I had the freedom to smoke in the library, then others would not have the freedom to breathe smoke-free air in the library.)Smoking while driving is a distraction. Personally, I don't have a problem with legislation that limits sources of distraction while operating two tons of steel at potentially high speeds. (Ideally, the legislation would be against the distraction in general rather than specific sources of distraction, but that's difficult to enforce.) If the legislation also applies to passengers, then I find it harder to agree. (But, then again, I don't live in such a municipality. If the people who live there want such a law, more power to them.) |
