I love the idea of "if you're caught using your cell while driving, they confiscate your cell". That'd get the message across to everyone pretty quickly, more so than any $200 ticket would...
I think we didn't have that mass-spraying because biologists and managers realized *it wasn't going to work*. It would introduce a lot of chemicals into a public park for no good reason. That's why I've heard managers are considering setting up deer feeding stations and spraying those as a less-toxic and more targeted alternative.
Also, I think ticks are spreading more because of warm winters (*cough* climate-change!) than because of what we're not doing.
How many drivers recognize what a "right hand turn" signal means when using the left hand (the 'wave')? Compare that to sticking your right arm straight out. I use my straight left arm for a left signal and my straight right arm for a right turn signal. Probably clearer for drivers overall that way, and safer for me.
