Legislation as a solution to poor behavior choices? What planet do you live on? Sorry, but I'm never in favor of the government telling me every little move I can make. Why don't we just go ahead and outlaw smoking while we're at it? It clearly kills more people each year than adjusting the knob on a car radio.

I suppose you could say I'm not a fan of "change you can believe in". I prefer freedom.
