      We MUST create more laws, there are not enough!

      Saw this is the local rag today, I guess we don't have enough laws on the books already. Some people are just never satisfied with what they have, and feel the need to clamp down even harder. Before long, I guess listening to your car stereo will be against the kings law. Police call for tougher...

      Smoking Ban or More Infringements?

      Our man Mitch signed a Smoking Ban Bill today. As I understand this bill, if I want to open a restaurant, I have no choice if customers can smoke in it. It is LAW that people can't smoke in it. Any law that takes away my rights is bad. Others can argue smoking is bad, yada yada, but look...

      Ohio may ban smoking in the car

      Walking back to the hotel room tonight and the headline in the paper caught my eye. Unbelievable! They center this on how it's for the children but that's a lot of crap. They don't care. Its just another way for the state to pull you over or get your taxes through tickets. The time a kid...
