   When drunk driving laws were new, people accused the laws of being a revenue maker, a cynical puritan ploy, a war against manhood. Ten years from now, I wonder if Mike's attitude will seem frighteningly backward?

   I agree with cellphone laws, but there have been lots of recently published examples of New York enforcing old, previously unenforced codes in order to raise money. The latest has to do with the color (or something) of awnings over businesses which was put on the books in the 1960s, never enforced, and suddenly a bunch of small businesses have tickets for 100s or 1000s of $.

   I'd rather take my chances paying on a optional penalty which is easily avoidable, than inevitable increases on taxes/fees which are unavoidable.
   
   Kinda like speeding - don't speed, you won't pay.
   But property tax increases are forever....
