[QUOTE="soberups, post: 619203, member: 14668"] The news you see on the TV is ratings-driven. "If it bleeds, it leads." Lots of big-city politicians stay in office by passing "feel-good" legislation that is poorly written and accomplishes nothing other than creating the illusion that they are "doing something" about a percieved problem. Bans on pitbulls, "gun free" zones around schools that are nothing more than lines on a map, and "drug free" zones are all examples of legislation that creates a warm, fuzzy feeling but doesnt actually solve any problems. Laws like these are nothing more that a slippery slope that lead us inevitably to the "nanny state" that we see in Great Britain and, to a lesser extent, Canada and Europe. [/QUOTE]
