Suggestions for the New Year 2017

With every new year comes new laws that the government deems necessary to take more of our freedom under the guise of protecting us from ourselves. One example at the beginning of 2017 is an annoying law passed in California that now you cannot hold a phone while driving and it has all these details where and when and how you can use your phone in your car!  What business is it of anyone’s what anyone does in their car. Seat belts, car seats, smoking, phone use, etc., what will be next?

So how do we change the direction of the government taking more and more of our freedoms? Well first, I think we could look at how we got this way. First it comes from our inborn need to control others and thinking that we know better than anyone else. Second it comes from our learned thinking that “experts” know better than we can by using our common sense. We also need to stop voting for people that want to pass more laws pretending they will protect us when all they really do is get more of our money for the government and give them more power over every aspect of our lives.

It is hard to choose a politician because all they want to do is control us. A lot of people seem to think that when we vote for someone they should “do something”. The opposite should be true, we should be voting for people that want to leave us alone and repealing all laws that infringe on any of our freedoms.

We also need to consider what happens when they make another law. Any law requires someone to enforce that law. Then you need to hire someone to take the money when the law is broken and the fine is levied. So now there are more people that need salaries that they need to raise our taxes on. Who do rise in taxes hurt the most, the poor.

So my suggestions for 2017 and beyond are:

• ·        When you feel or think anything that begins with “they should…” – just STOP.
• ·        Don’t vote for politicians that want to “do something” unless it is repealing most laws. At least vote for the person that will make less laws than the other person running.
• ·        Get involved try to run for office so you can be the one to let people run their lives and leave them alone and repeal laws and don’t be tempted by big money trying to buy you to control others.
• ·        Mind your own business and leave others alone.

So much for "Protect and Serve"

Some unlucky person got hit by a car somewhere around 5:00 A.M. on a major street leading to LAX. The police blocked off the road for at least 3 hours or more to investigate. There has got to be something done about this, it happens way too often. The police don't think about the rest of us. All those people were inconvenienced trying to get to LAX. The police don't care about them.  I think it's time for a change in thinking. Stop the Tyranny of the Minority.

Society Needs a Resolution for 2014 to Repeal Some (A Lot of) Laws

On New Years Day of 2014, some 800 new laws take effect in California and I heard that there were going to be over 4,000 new laws in the U.S.  If they have to pass any really necessary laws,  I like the idea that with every law passed, anywhere between 5 or 10 need to be repealed.  Here are some of the annoying, inane laws that need to be repealed.  A lot are in California but I'm sure will apply to other states too.

• All Helmet Laws. Including bikes, motorcycles, skateboards, etc. If you want to wear them you should be free to choose to or not.
• All Seat belt Laws. All laws that require air bags or any safety equipment in cars. I should be free to choose of I want it or not.
• Recently in L.A. they have put bike lanes everywhere at the expense of car lanes.  That is one of the stupidest things ever.  There is thousands and thousands of cars and only a few bikes.  If you want to ride a bike safely, ride on the sidewalk, besides, nobody walks in L.A. right?
• In L.A. you can't burn a log in you fireplace when ever they determine you can't and they are taking away fire pits at the beach.  Will the stupidity never stop?!
• Car sear laws.
• Parking fines and all paid parking, you shouldn't have to pay to park anywhere.
• Laws about what kind of light bulbs we can use
• Laws about what kind of toilet we can use
• Laws that require permits to fix various things on your house or add an addition on to it.
• Plastic bag bans
• All bans on smoking cigarettes. I hate cigarettes but hate taking away our freedoms more.
• Texting in cars, well basically all laws that have anything to do with what we do in our cars.

Those were some of the things that I thought of that affect my life each day, there are many more and a lot bigger ones that need to be repealed.

All these laws have one thing in common: to make money for the state.  They also hurt the poor to keep them poor so they can stay dependent on the government.

Usually some big company that wants to sell something, let's say car seats, they go to the government and say there is this great need and we will save people and we can make a lot of money and so can you by charging fines for those who don't comply.
