save unicom
in new jersey they have a law: you can't pump your own gas. the theory I always tie this to is something I heard when I first started to drive. basically, it was made a law so that filling stations would have to hire people so that more people could have more jobs. I think lawyers generally follow the same logic: they create law suits mainly to keep themselves employed.

Oregon, too (Score:2)
Oregon has a law like that and so does the little town in MA where I live. I suspect it reduces liability insurance since it doesn't effect the price of fuel much if at all.

Yes, Randal has been known to rant [google.com] about it on Usenet.
I first read the title of the journal entry as "save unicorn".

Well, I lived in Portland for a few years...it never threatened my masculinity to have someone else pump my gas for me. :) There are lots of more pressing things to get your panties in a bunch over.

No, Randal likes having other people pump his gas and is in favor of the law.
