John on the SC...the only example I can think of right now of "micro managing" laws that might affect me are the laws restricting women's access to health care due to the abortion debate. I am sure there are other examples, but I can't think of any at the moment.

Laws keeping us safe on the roads are needed and should be enforced. I have to drive for my work and I see too many people these days who drive way too fast, do not pay attention to their driving and put the rest of us at risk. Turn signals? They are there for a reason...

The research is now showing that talking on a phone, even hands-free is just as dangerous as having the phone in your hand.

I do wish Massachusetts would have made it illegal to drive while talking on a hand-held device.

I just want to be safe on the road, that's all. I drive 55 mph on the highway and I am finding that not only am I getting 40 miles to the gallon, driving slower has made me feel safer and not as fatigued as when I drive 65+ mph.

Just my tuppence.
