Well where do you draw the line? How many more laws do we need? Why don't they just make it so everyone has to stay at home in a padded room when they are not at work or school?
Personally I think they crossed the point of no return when they started making kids wear those gay helmets when riding bikes that offer almost no protection and saddled them with a $100+ fine if they got caught without them.
I am not just talking about the US here. Every year we are saddled with stricter and more insane, pointless laws in Canada as well and I am sick of them.
The last thing we need is more laws in place to protect us from ourselves. Especially when you can get up to a $500 fine for your kid being out past 9 PM. Just my opinion.
