Another Law Too Far

Because it is convenient and efficient to communicate with others while on the road, Californians are almost universally ignoring the latest attempted nanny state overreach by their legislators. By my observation, cell phone use by the state's drivers has not been diminished one iota by the hubristic assumption of the clowns in Sacramento that they could affect natural human behavior by enacting a law. Reminds one of the healthy resistance with which people responded to efforts to impose a nationwide 55 m.p.h. speed limit. As more nutty laws are put on the books, more people decide for themselves which laws to obey and which to ignore, and this leads to increasingly widespread flouting of more laws and, ultimately, a complete breakdown in respect for law generally.
