Good gosh...LH...here we are agreeing again! (I'll not use a smilie as those seem to disturb the more thin-skinned among us!)

I, too, am for more personal responsibility and LESS of the "Nanny State" of lots of rules and regulations. But some people like/need Big Brother/Big Sister telling them when they can speak and about what they can speak.

I was just at the gym and had this mental picture....The doc tells you granny is not doing well and you had better call the family. Do I have enough quarters for the pay phone? Do I have to run down to the first floor so I can go outside to use my cell phone (and hope my conversation won't bother the smokers out there!)

So, I hope there is a place where those who need lots of rules can go and a place for those of us who favor less!
