#1 We're over-regulated to a fare-thee-well.

We're doomed.

#2 And the gov'nor of that (failed) state wants to be President. Not on my watch.
Go back to blockading bridges.

#3 The impressive (and not in a good way) part of this is that NJ "fixed" the problem by creating an even more complicated rule set that only applies to snow shoveling and even then only if the deal is made 24 hrs before snowfall.

So you still need a license for leaf-raking. For lawn-mowing, you need the license, an OSHA inspection sticker showing proper protective gear, and a Hazardous Agricultural Chemicals permit for spritzing Roundup on the dandelions.

The right to bear shovels is the right to be free.

#5 Remember, if you can license it, you can tax it. It's all about the money (and graft). Functionality and practicality have nothing to do with it.

#6 Still can't stack wood or rake leaves, I guess. How's a kid to learn how to work?

No need.

The Government will provide all.
The Government is Mother!
The Government is Father!
The Government will wipe your nose,
The Government will wipe your ass!
The Government will teach you to put condoms on cucumbers,
The Government will provide birth control in case you insist on riding bareback.
And of you don't want the Government to pollute your body with Birth Control...
The Government will provide Abortions.
You won't have to be responsible for your actions
The Government will make sure someone else is held responsible or nobody will be held responsible.
You won't have to make any decisions,
The Government will tell you what to do, what to eat, what to drink, what to watch, and what to like and what to hate, who to fight, who to fuck, what to think, and, most important, how to vote.
The Government is all...
