"Critical".

America is toast.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Like all things done in Washington, the actual result will be exactly the opposite of that ostensibly intended.

I’d rather ban liberals. It makes more sense than these panty-waisted statist jack wagons could ever make.

I feel bad now, because I don’t have a device. So if I see a blind person, I think I’ll honk my horn, so they know I’m coming.

Some of your newer cars probably don’t make enough noise either, so maybe we should ALL honk our horns when we see blind people — for their safety.

Blind people should be issued special electronic devices, like EZ-pass. When a “quiet” car senses a blind ez-pass, it can then feed back to the device, which would be strapped around the blind person’s neck. The mild electric shock would warn the blind person that they should not step any further.

I thought that was what this was about. How else could they possibly do it?

Seriously? the bill authorizes a 3-year study of what to do. Probably millions of dollars. So it can’t possibly be something you and I thought up in 5 seconds. :-)
