Should Government tell parents...

I was reading how legal experts say DeSantis will lose this battle. It will be another Disney. He’ll puff up and stomp around and eventually, nothing will happen.

He's certainly had plenty of practice for that.

It's funny watching the Cult twerk for DiSantis. Remember when they said they didn't want any more politicians and that a "businessman" was just perfect to run America? Now they're back to salivating over Mr. Puss n Boots... a career politician.

I'm pretty sure the government tells parents they can't let 14 year old teenagers drive either.

Ummm...no, they don't.

Laws require all drivers to be licensed. There are ages associated with obtaining a license. Parents are not in the equation.

Where parents do become involved is in whether they allow their minor children to drive.

Good point. I had assumed the discussion only concerned public roads, but since both parties want to peek into the bedrooms of all Americans, regardless of age, it's easy to assume they'd want to regulate every other aspect we do in our private lives. :)

Yeah. I don't know about today but I mean kids used to drive on back roads in rural areas with no problem.

It's pretty funny that people think kids are incapable of doing adult stuff. That may be true today because of the damn video games and tablets, making them oblivious to reality.
 
Do you know who, in grade school and above, knows if some kid is different, gay, or sexually ambiguous? Everybody. It is part of growing up.

Can't drive on public roads without a permit.

It's not that kids can't do the mechanical motions of driving on the roads. The problem is the same with much older people: How they'd react in an emergency such as being cut off, a blown tire, an ice patch, etc. Without proper training and experience, their first emergency could be their last.

Yeah. Like I said, it wasn't a problem back then in rural areas, especially where there are plenty of farms around.

Maybe the government should raid the Amish villages for child labor? :)

Horses never needed a riding license AFAIK. Times change.

BTW, RWI on a horse is a thing. :)

I think the buggy has to be registered. The horses themselves can be on the side of the rode.

Yeah, it's wrong to charge DUI when the horse knows the way home.

Drunk cowboy: 'Horse knows the way home'
"I was riding my horse down the side of 16," Williams explained as he was being issued a ticket for being drunk in public on the side of Highway 16.

A deputy responded to complaints about Williams riding his horse from the bar when she found him. She explained she could not arrest Williams for a DWI offense because he was on a horse, so she ticketed him.

"When you get a little too much to drink, why not ride a horse?" he told reporter Brett Buffington, "It's safer that way. The horse knows the way home."
