Woo-hoo! New seat belt laws! Buckle up, backseat people! No cell phone gabbing for teens while driving! Except if you have a very good reason that a law enforcement officer can discern through…uh, mental telepathy! Yeah, telepathy! Boy, we’re safer now!
Coming soon, no more smoking in public in Meckelnburg! Yes! Because you know how dangerous that is to everyone’s health! Second-hand smoke causes….well, causes…well, it smells bad and it is nasty and — wait! — it causes people to scream and yell and run around and make stuff up! Yeah! That’s it!
Second-hand tobacco smoke makes you stupid! Yeah!
And a whole lot of people are about to lose their last, best excuse.
