Reply #74: Automobile driving is ground zero of where our freedoms are taken away.

Renew! Re-tag! Re-register!

Be FORCED to buy "insurance" by law! (Which contributes mightily to contemporary Americans' wage slavery.)

Pay exorbitant fines for speeding or parking incorrectly! (Whenever your state or local government needs extra cash.)

Give the pigs their best chance to randomly fuck with you! (You're especially screwed if you're a stoner, and/or black. Or even if you're not - when else do they get to fuck with law abiding citizens, except for when the citizens are motoring?)

Subsidise Big Oil!

Leaving aside all the other non-freedom related issues, such as: lard-assery, isolation, the death of the neigborhood, the fact that even though we are such weenies today that we recall kids' hoodies with drawstrings (did you hear that one today?) because the little darlings have a slight chance of getting garotted by them (far less chance that anyone has of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning) --- the fact that even though we ARE such weenies, we're still willing to let your average dumbfuck careen across the landscape at the helm of a ton or more of deadly steel containing large quantities of explosive fuel. Even though half the dumbfucks are on their cell-phones, and the other half (the young ones) are texting while they're at it!
