Just one more impost on people for feeble reason.<br /><br />I wonder what law they'll pass the next time some stupid mother leaves a child locked in a car to die of heat exhaustion. Compulsory air-conditioning to run whenever a car is parked? Oops, Carbon Monoxide poisoning. M. A.

I was actually expecting a tirade of comments accusing me of not caring about children, but it seems that a lot of us would be happy for common sense to make a comeback. M. A.

Yes, kids drown in pools - but they drown in dams, too. I resent having to have my pool fenced. I also resent stupid bicycle helmets, another idiotic rule that undermines people wanting to exercise. Australia is over-governed and over-regulated.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011218229698210595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748068049245566450.post-13881011247170503172013-03-10T13:41:27.595-07:002013-03-10T13:41:27.595-07:00I agree whole-heartedly.

How many children are turned into sickly, obese diabetics with foreshortened life expectancies by their stupid parents shoving sweet sticky, fatty junk down their gullets every time they open their mouths? Surely more than fall into the neighbour's swimming pool. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
