But why can't I have an open container in my car? It's not hurting anyone. I am a great drunk driver, my actions don't hurt anyone else. You shouldn't stop me until there's proof that my actions hurt others. </sarcasm>
You see, sometimes laws have to be passed to protect people from themselves. Everyone knows that drunk driving is wrong because OCCASIONALLY, someone gets killed. Not every time, not every other time, but occasionally. Now, that may not seem like a big deal to you but I wonder if the family of the person who was killed feels any differently.
You know what else, bars used to be able to serve people alcohol until they passed out. Now you can't do that, there are specific laws that govern all liquor license holders. How can they do that? How can they tell these bars who they can serve and when they have to stop? They can do it because the bars weren't acting responsibly to protect the general public.
Even if you own a private business, you have to realize that you are responsible to operate your business within the best interests of the general public.
You are still going on the assumption that second hand smoke kills people. That has been debunked!!!
