Seriously, who does it hurt if I drive like a maniac? It's my car, it's my body, I paid for the roads. I'm an adult, I can choose to drive any way I want. If I want to use both lanes, hey, I paid for 'em, I'll use them anyway I want.

That's a strawman argument. Once you are interacting in public with fellow citizens, safety laws are completely valid. You are in direct contact with other citizens, and the possibility of negligence on your part causing another person harm is acutely viable. There is a world of difference between a law governing direct public conduct and a law governing public contact twice removed. In other words, it is completely reasonable to tell someone who is driving on a public road to follow laws put in place to ensure a greater degree of safety. It is NOT at all reasonable to tell that person that they cannot own a car at all because they may use the road and may cause injury when doing so.

I'll hit the other points shortly, but let me just thank you for being civil and keeping this a true debate. Dealing with a lunatic like Curry reminds me that's not always easy.

I've pointed out before on these WOD threads that anyone who wishes to really fight the WOD can do so themselves. All they have to do is go bang on the door of a house where they suspect illegal drug use is taking place,and demand to inspect the place. If illegal drug use is indeed taking place on the premises,they can then make a citizen's arrest,and deliver the malefactors over to duly constituted law enforcement officials.

So far,I haven't heard of anyone trying it. Why could that be?
