common sense or just shawna-think?

now that texting while driving in california is illegal, people have to actually take their eyes off the road to text from their lap.  before at least their eyes were still looking forward.  did they really think we'd stop altogether?

why not mandatory castration for child molesters and repeat sex offenders ?   i'd love to hear arguments/reasons against it... .

why would anyone even consider a health care plan that the people who have developed it won't even use?

why is marijuana still illegal?  (oh yea, didn't see this coming) am i the only one who believes it's no harsher a drug than alcohol?  people are buying and selling it regardless, why not make some monster tax dollars off of it and regulate it like alcohol?  imagine how the snack industry would benefit...

why do some people think that raising the minimum wage benefits minimum wage earners?  wages go up - cost of doing business goes up, cost of doing business goes up - prices of goods go up. People who are now making more money have to spend more money for the exact same things - not helping, same situation for them, worse situation for everyone else.

why are boys taught to not hit girls, but girls aren't taught to not to hit boys?  my children have orders from their ma to let the first punch pass - regardless of of who threw it.  after the second one - whoever is doing the hitting is fair game, regardless of sex.  i'm thinking if a person has the balls (so to speak) to hit another person,  that hitter needs to be prepared for a smack-back.  period.
