#2 Shut down the deli, nobody drives there, traffic decreases. No work, people leave, fewer health incidents. Sit on your ass, wait for the gov cheesy checks to show up, get fat.

"We spent four years coming up with a series of laws nobody wanted and we are worried whether we would be deemed a nanniest; because if not we are not, we are not sure what it will take."

#3 I think traffic incidents are down everywhere, for at least two reasons - safer roads, and less driving.

You forgot the assholes, I count st least four per trip around her, their favorite os cutting in front and dragging their ass slowly.

At least they don't cut in front and slam on the brakes.

#4 RJ, my #1 worst driving without causing an accident goes to this little gal driving a large vehicle in Denver, CO, who thinks nothing is wrong with driving 80 and merging into the Interstate while texting.

#7 Of course the nanny state works ... in precisely the same way that putting a loaded gun in one's mouth and pulling the trigger works.
