For legal hypocrisy, Ohio is a winner

For proof of the rampant hypocrisy in the laws of Ohio, consider the 55-mph truck speed limit. It makes no sense and is never enforced. What IS that about anyway?

Notice how lawmakers have cornered the gambling-profits market. No games of chance for the private profiteer, only the government profiteers, thank you.

And booze. "State minimum prices" is the biggest laugh ever. What business has government to organize all booze merchants into legalized price-fixing? And then dictate what hours they may serve, just in case a few merchants don't get a profit advantage by working longer hours?

State government's prize cash cow is its confiscation of the market for hard booze, so that only government may grow really fat and silly on the profits therefrom.

Funny that these hypocrisies are never discussed, never come up for re-consideration. They just are, and apparently always will be.
