No, Really – Democracy Doesn’t Work

I wrote recently about how Montana (USA) had rejected a bill to make texting while driving illegal. It’s impossible to fathom the logic used to come to the effective conclusion that texting while driving is OK.

Arizona seems to experiencing a similar problem. They have three bills under consideration:

  • banning texting while driving
  • booster seats for children under 8 mandatory
  • transporting children in open beds of trucks prohibited

You’d think logic and commonsense would make these a foregone conclusion, wouldn’t you? Well, the votes are surprisingly close and there is a lot of debate on that last one. They are not foregone conclusions at all.
