Mama Minneapolis micro-managing our lives

It’s illegal to leave keys in your car and you can’t even leave your car running. http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/airquality/AntiIdling_home.aspWhat is next? I can see the headlines now… Population in Minneapolis growing too large, couples only allowed to have two children. Sound familiar? Communist China perhaps. Sound silly? Well only a few short years ago most people would have thought laws against idling cars and leaving keys in a car would be silly also. This is a slippery slope we are falling down, and if it’s not stopped here and now we will find ourselves with very unthinkable laws. We continue to allow these types of crimes (and it is a crime to pass laws like this) to be committed by the government against the citizens, then it is all over for us. We should just pack it in now and turn all of our lives over to the government. Maybe we should change our currency slogan to “In Rybak We Trust”, or “In Pawlenty We Trust”, or “In Obama We Trust” since he is already trying that, or “In McCain We Trust”. The very thought of any of these scares the HELL OUT OF ME, some more than others! I’ve got a better idea … “In The Minneapolis Shadow We Trust”.
