p35bhp09,
i got a better idea: we declare april 15 national kill a camera day.
okay, maybe not, but if i were to tape a plastic bag over a redlight camera or radar camera the only thing they could charge me with would be littering, right? i mean, it's not exactly vandalism. and it's legal if you don't get caught, right?
someone said something to the effect of "you have no problem with gun laws but you don't like traffic laws." sorry, i'm too lazy to page back and copy/paste it. i got news for you. i am most definitely NOT happy with most, if not all, gun laws. and guess what? i break them, too sometimes. i disregard the law that says i can't bring my gun into olive garden because they serve alcohol. i don't care that it's illegal to bring a gun into the dmv. i don't leave my gun in my car unless i'm expecting metal detectors. some of you get a warm and fuzzy feeling from being good little eloi. fine. i simply ignore laws that i disagree with if i think i can get away with it. "real" criminals do the same but in my opinion (of course) i have a better moral compass. speaking of morals, laws that prohibit actions that do not harm others are immoral. they simply seek to control men. if my reckless operation of a motor vehicle harms or kills someone than beat me, fine me and imprison me. if you're an old fart and 90 mph makes your colon hurt, that's not my fault.
another thing: you. yeah, you in the left lane doing 54 in a 55. who's on the ego trip? me, because i want to simply get where i'm going in an efficient manner while co-operating with other drivers? or would it be you, the one who took it upon himself to delay others and "teach them a lesson?" let me help crystallize the issue. what do you do when (if) you notice that the driver behind you wishes to go faster? do you pull to the right and let them pass or do you slow down to further exert control over them?
let me say it one more time and i'll use small words so everyone can follow along: i don't wish to be controlled by any human being.
