[AF] It's a legacy!

[Blake Bowers]

I have to wonder where it all ends, if we do not stop it now.

Do we start affording special protection to drunks?  Wait, under the
ADA we already do.

What about left handed people?  Yep, some have already sued.

What about left handed drunks?

We have laws on the books.  If they are not used as they should,
then we have judicial remedies.  If that does not work, vote those
people out.

Adding law, after law, only adds more laws.  The system is so
complex as it is, it is just about broken already.
