> What makes you think this is bothering the people? How many people are bothered by the after-hour emails? Are there statistics on that? I would be surprised if it was the majority, or the "general public". This problem is being tackled by a small group of politicians who believe it is something that will benefit EVERYONE. This is were we differ on what is really happening here. I think politicians are trying to architect society more so than listening to the majority of people, at least in this instance. Sure government is a group of people that are trying to implement what people want, but at least in the US, we elect representatives that have quite a bit of flexibility to suggest policies that are not really asked for, especially in California.
