This is why Conservatives can’t stand liberals. Some law makers are trying to pass a law to ban plexiglass windows that protect small business owners and their employees, due to feelings. Stupid just stupid.

I read the whole story, and came away with the feeling that there is a lot more going on than just the plexiglass. While the business is complaining that their safety is at stake because it is a bad neighborhood, it seems that the lawmakers feel that this same business has been contributing to it being a bad neighborhood – not because of the plexiglass, but because they are selling booze at essentially a drive-through, without it being a restaurant. It seems they haven’t been able to find a way to clear the neighborhood of this sort of business, and the plexiglass ban is an attempt to drive them out. Of course in the process they have supplied conservatives with more fodder to scream about liberals.
