And ride a bike. But this is what I know will happen if I decide I don't need a driver's license anymore: first I'm pulled over, maybe for speeding, maybe for running a light, maybe for a cracked taillight. Then the cop asks me for my driver's license. I say I don't have one & start telling him why I don't need one. He tells me to get out of the car. I'm told I'm under arrest. I'm read my rights. I'm cuffed. I'm taken to jail. The cop hands me a sheaf of tickets. With luck, I bond out. A while later, I go into court, telling the judge to dismiss these charges because I don't need a license and I hand him a printout of Prism's posts. The judge, trying hard not to stifle a chuckle, asks the prosecutor for his argument. He cites, chapter and verse, the paragraph I just posted. The judge says I'm guilty and assesses the fines. Lots of them. If this is a second and subsequent bust for operating without a license, it's fines and jail time.
Naw, I think I'll let Prism go first on trying this one at home.
Not at all what the intention of the post was. I have no serious expectation that anything will work. And when I drive illegally, I accept the risks/consequences of my actions.
I do not, however, accept that the law is right and I am wrong.
Many think this type of post is just such a cry-baby/militia rant.
I reserve the right to be indignant on the intellectual level, and also the right to not be called a hypocrite for avoiding lawful conflicts with beliefs on a practical level.
