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.

So the actual problem here is that you are living under a dictatorship. Sure, history has shown that doesn't tend to work out. I'm afraid in that case you can't pass the work off to the hired hands, though, you're going to have to get your own hands dirty.

If you follow California politics, that statement is not that far off.
