Look around. At the entrance to most grocery stores is a giant container of antibacterial wipes so we can sanitize the cart. Why stop there? Why don't we wipe down the checkout or the shelves, or the THOUSANDS of other items in the store??
How about smoking bans in bars? Out of all the things that go on in bars, I would think smoking would be the least of our worries. "... but what about protecting the employees from the dangers of second hand smoke?" Duh! Its a bar!! They're adults. They know what they are getting into when they're hired. I'm not a smoker myself, so I simply wouldn't work there.
Don't get me wrong. I know the world can be a dangerous place, but we can't encase ourselves, or our children, in a protective bubble. Life is full of risks, but when we try too hard to protect ourselves from every little thing, we find ourselves with too many rules and not enough creativity, exploration or fun.
