JeffreyCH, it's not that I disagree with you, but I guess this is my issue:
I feel like all I ever hear in reference to our government is bitching - bitching about wasted money, or not enough money, or impeding on our rights, or how we aren't doing enough to stop terrorism, or about how the government is wasteful, or how it is too stingey, or how we're taxed too much, or how we can't afford to fix roads, keep athletic departments open in schools, etc. Everyone is bitching about every thing, and every topic has it's converse angle that's also being bitched about, and the truth is, not a goddam thing is being done about any of it but more noise pollution and more bitching.. so, when a law like this comes up, which is clearly unnecessary but, in relation to the seemingly neverending stream of nonsensical spending and stupid laws, is actually a fairly GOOD idea and really isn't that much of a drain on our economy, I don't see the point in complaining about it.
This law doesn't infringe on your rights as an adult citizen, it doesn't change your day to day life, and if we estimate that it would cost 100k to implement a law like this (i think less, but whatever), that comes to roughly 0.00028571428571428573 dollars per person in this country, or 2 one hundredths of a cent? I really don't think that's a major drain on our economy. I easily waste a penny a day .
