What's a law you don't like?

I went to the Dwight D. Eisenhower park, because I wanted to see a small lake there, smaller than Lake Houston.

I couldn't find a place to park, as the road to the small lake I wanted to see said "Do not enter, except for bicycles". So I parked in the playground area, and started walking. It was about a mile until the map told me to stop, and walk through the brush to the lake.

But the brush was too thick, and I figured that all I'd accomplish by walking into it was covering myself in bugs, cuts, and getting tangled. So I kept walking, figuring that I'd find a path to walk to the lake, and I did!

I found a sand path and walked into it until I reached the lake. And it was absolutely beautiful, as you can see. I found a 2 x 4 to sit on, and I sat down to look at the water, as tadpoles swam, turtles stuck their heads above water, and even a baby alligator said "hi" as it splashed about 20 yards from me, I assume, to catch a fish.

I saw a bunch of empty beer cans there, damn litter bugs😠

That got me thinking, it would be nice to have a beer, or two, as I watched the tadpoles swimming, but it wasn't meant to be. That would not only be public consumption of alcohol, but also possession of an open alcohol container in public, both of which are illegal.

And in that moment, I didn't like those laws. Just for that moment, though, in general, I take no issue with those laws, wouldn't want drunk people walking around in public, or driving drunk.
