It’s all part of the national suicide we’re committing. The concept of “police checkpoints” should make every free man’s skin crawl. But they don’t. Most people are more than willing to trade off their liberty for the illusion of security these ineffective blockades provide them.

It all started with seatbelt laws. Once we accepted that indefensible infringement, we were going to accept anything.

“The concept of “police checkpoints” should make every free man’s skin crawl.”

Amen to that. Shoot the guilty drunk drivers after a fair trial; but leave the rest of us alone.

And I wear a seat belt because it's a smart thing to do; I do not need a government nanny to tell me to do this.
