It's ironic, really, that the very same week they're taking up the bill about requiring booster seats for children until their 8 years old, they're also talking about lowering the hunting age to eight. What they're saying is that in order to be safe, a child has to stay in a booster seat until they are 8 years old, and then we're going to turn around and send them into the woods with a loaded gun. Where's the consistency there? |
It's not that the issue is good or bad; in my mind, it's a matter of priorities. Instead of tackling tough issues that impact everyone - education, property taxes, campaign reform, the health care crisis - they're talking about stuff like this. |
We need to talk about the issues that are going to impact real people in their everyday lives. |
