No swearing in Middleboro, Mass.

If that is what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, fine, but you are still full of shit and you know it as it is all fruit from the same poison tree and this is yet another example of bad government 101.

Almost any time government is "called to action" to outlaw or ban something by a certain lobbying group, it is bad.

There are some exceptions, but generally it is bad.

And these "greater good" laws are all the product of hysteria and political correctness.

But you keep telling yourself this is different than helmet laws, seatbelt laws, texting laws, prostitution laws, marijuana laws and the zillions of other "protecting adults from themselves" laws on the books.

Is what Zag is trying to say is that if you can text and drive without getting in an accident or drive home after 9 or 10 beers without hitting anything, more power to you?
Just punish people if they do get in accidents under those circumstances?

 

No. Not really. He is saying that any law that restricts his personal freedom is unconstitutional. Of course, there do seem to be exceptions, but he wants to be able to choose those.
