Rob my chocie was not made for me. I chose to drive and follow the rules set out to do so or I don't. You mistake the choice.
If you think i am a raw socialist you make the mistake of judging a book by its cover.
You are in no way free to drvie a car outside the rules set out to do so. If you think you are then your defenition of freedom is anarchy. how can it be anything else? You do not get to decide the rules of the road, your elected representatives do by the votes they cast. If you disagree with their voting patterns then by all means cast your vote another way next time around.
You have a choice to follow the rules of the road as they apply to vehicles or travel in another way. You may argue that your choice has been removed but that just simply isn't the case.
Ask the black footed ferret about the choice you made, they would be extinct if they had been able to chose as you would.
Here is a choice, if you do not wish to follow the rules then don't drive or maybe you could run for electedoffice on this issue???

I voted for Rossi. He won, yet our governor is Grequare (sp?). We have no rule of law in the state of Washington. I make all driving choices – ALL OF THEM – as I see fit, not based on what some unelected socialist official deems “legal”. The very word draws a chuckle from me.
It is a game – like Monopoly – and all about arbitrary rules that are not in place for the reasons advertised. You cannot always break them, but the cops are not everywhere.
I have a friend that uses the HOV lane with impunity. The tickets he gets are merely the toll to him.
There is a book titled, “What to do when it is too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bast***s”.
I have actually found one of those things to do.
If you really aren't a socialist, you are their dream -- a lemming.
Governments are delegated certain limited powers. They can enact laws within that perameter. When they exceed their limits, the not only encourage disobedience to that law but to law in general.
Those who enforce those laws also lose respect as they are seen as meter maids with guns rather than peace officers.
Is there a law -- your line in the sand -- that you just won't obey? Will you turn in your guns if they pass a law? It's the law, you know.
Do you have a line?
