NYC bans smoking in parks and public places.

On second thought. I like this law. Life should be safe for everyone, and it is the responsibility of our government to make sure that we're all as safe as we can be.
It makes me wonder how many more things we can do to improve everyone's safety. 2nd hand smoke is one danger that people face on their way to work, but what about others?
Car accidents are very dangerous, and the exhaust is poison! We should immediately enforce a car ban. That would be so wonderful and safe for everyone.
But then everyone would be crammed into buses and trains. Well, getting hit by a bus is even worse than getting hit by a car, and there's still an exhaust problem. Trains and buses both put people in close proximity to one another which can start epidemics.
Nope. The only truly safe way for people to go to work is to already be at work. We'll have people sleep at their jobs!
Hmmm, but then they'd get no exercise and that would be unsafe for health reason. Ah ha! We'll make exercise bikes in the cages--- I mean, places of work.
But exercise bikes aren't as fun as walking... No problem... we'll just make people use the bikes from 6:30 and 7:30 pm each day, or they won't get their feed... I mean food...
But now that I think about it, if people can't leave their "work places" they won't be able to have families, and so there will be no children.
It's all for the best I suppose. We'll just freeze everyone in a ultra-safe stasis chambers all over the city until we can figure out a way to make the world safe enough to live in.
Either that or we can all just accept that life is dangerous, and not stress ourselves out on this crusade of restrictive regulation to sterilize the planet.
You want fresh air? Don't live in New York fucking city!
This country was not designed so the weak-kneed, faint-hearted, gluten-free, carb-smart, most-anal-common-denominator, goody-two-shoes, jogger-types could dictate policy for the rest of us.
Why not make an ordnance that the entire city has to pull the stick out of it's collective ass, take Jager shots and go to see a punk rock show in Brooklyn once a month?
I think that would do the city a lot of good.
