Tired? Don’t Drive

The absurdities of our political process tire me out sometimes. The State of New Jersey, maybe because they have that big turnpike, have criminalized driving while tired.

Recent studies estimate 51 percent of motorists feel drowsy behind the wheel, and about two of every 10 drivers say they have fallen asleep while driving in the past year.

Why not criminalize the root causes of being tired instead, like our legal system? Working too much doing absurd things? Talking too much while not saying anything? Having to listen too long to somebody who’s not saying anything? What about being forced to pay taxes to support those who make you work harder so they can tax you more? That makes me tired.
