Oh, and btw, up here in Ontario, and probably elsewhere in north America, they’re talking about satelite-monitored speed controls for all heavy trucks (maximum 64 mph), and you know there’s some safety-nazi Nancy-boys out there who’d like to do the same thing for cars. In fact, I know there’s some people on this board who would probably like to see government-mandated speed controls on all cars, because the thought of anyone going faster than 70 mph scares the crap out of them.

FR does have a depressing number of nanny staters. Hell, the Republican party here in the US is practically overrun with them now.

I use this argument with anti-gun people when the clinton gun ban was in place. They would ask; “Why do you need a gun that can shoot more than 10 rounds at a time?” I would say to them that it is a Constitutional right to bear arms. Then I would ask; “Why do you need a car that can go over 70mph?” When driving is only a privilege. I usually got no response. If they can take your rights away, they damn sure can take anything else.
