With freedom comes responsibility - that is conservative. Your current view is that of a libertine. I'm free to do as I will, screw the rest of you. The libertines abuse the freedom, then the busy-bodies want to take that freedom away from everyone. You want loud pipes, fine, idle in stopped traffic, idle down the neighborhood streets. Open it up on the highway.
There's a biker who lives in a neighborhood near mine (aside from the three I already mentioned in my neighborhood). I know he has loud pipes, but he's good about it in residential areas, idles down the neighborhood roads, accelerates reasonably, and keeps the noise down where folks are sleeping - I hear him because he's louder than most traffic, but he's still being a good neighbor.
I'll take him any day over a clapped out 4-banger or a jack-ass with a "look-at-me-I'm-important" attitude.

Would you please find for me where in my statement I said that it didnt include personal responsibility? If you cant find it I would suggest you not project an opinion not stated.
