STAY THE H.E. "DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS" OUT OF MY LIFE! Deal with the real issue!

I just read in the Pioneer Press today that the Wisconsin Legislature has passed a law requiring that any child under the age of 8 or less than 4'9" and 80 lbs be in a booster seat. As a father of three, I want to say is STAY THE HECK OUT MY BUSINESS AND LIFE! If you government people are so blasted smart, deal with the real issue; enforcing traffic laws will make our roads safer thus our children will be less likely to be injured in an accident. Children don't die when people act responsible, children die and get hurt when morons do moronic things. For example: speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating, speeding when the roads are covered in ice and snow, etc...

I am a responsible driver, I drive no more than 5 over the speed limit, I try not to tailgate, and I drive slower when the roads have precipitation on them. I won't have an accident, someone will do something completely stupid that will effect me. But, getting back to my point: DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM! Get more troopers on the roads, enforce traffic laws. But, since politicians are smarter than the average bear, the problem goes unsolved and we deal with the effects.

And, like the recent lobbyist scandals in Washington, instead of dealing with the problem-- unethical and criminal pols and lobbyists-- NEW LAWS added to existing laws to deal with these people will be introduced and passed. Dealing with the effect instead of the cause.

But the bill will be signed by a Governor who has no problem with protecting the privacy to abort a human life; Doyle will in effect violate my privacy to transport my children as I see fit.

Bills like this make me think of issues like drivers and cell phones. All we hear is an absolute ban on driving and cell phone use. Why punish the majority of responsible drivers who can talk and drive at the same time? Enforce traffic laws on those who, while using their cell phones, violate the laws. But than again, I guess that is simply too obvious for politicians to figure out.

Let's deal with the larger problem, and stop dancing around it.
