"Hearts full of youth. Hearts full of truth. Six parts gin to four parts virmooth!" - Tom Lehrer

the amendements covering that already exist.

what we need is a social and legal shift towards recognizing the rights of free assembly and movement as relating to all persons, of which youth must also be fully included.

Freedom of Movement is undervalued and under-recognized in legal significance...

Cars are an INTEGRAL COMPONENT of MODERN LIFE.


If a man has no car, he is bound to be unable to work, unable to buy groceries, and ultimately unable to live indoors.

Society is not what it was.

Horses aren't possible to use, and "carriages" aka Taxi's STILL aren't affordable to vast majority of people.

The idea that paying exorbitant fees, HIKED insurance rates, and being scrutinized by public employs makes anyone any safer is a myth propagated by the CEO's of major insruance firms and their respective lobbying groups.

Once they are guaranteed your business, insurance companies need merely act SOMEWHAT as though not an organized cartel, and so long as they reasonably uniformly whine to the State Insurance Commisions about going broke "because of excessive claims" -- they will continue to rob everyone like they do.

I could pay the same amount for finanacing on a HONDA Accord that I do for my insurance each month.

It's a racket. Accidents happen -- and get this, using the logic the State does, it's only the the licensed ones that HAVE the accidents.

Some help licensing is -- it's only slightly more legitimate for cars than it is for doctors...

What is malpractice if we have licenses?

So why have licenses -- just keep malpractice!

But this sort of reduction of girth is, of course, much too rational and would make too much sense.

No one will accept this idea.

You need it because it's there, and it's there because you need it.

Only when the mix sours sufficiently, and you are required to pay altogether too much money for the security blanket of no value that licensing is, only then will you bother to oppose in name and words what you already do in practice.

(You've eaten food from home, haven't you? -- Most food poisoning COMES from homes; we should license EVERY person who cooks, using logic as it be...)

End waste, shit happens; let it be.

Las Vegas was built on freedom. It achieved greatness out of nothingness in the middle of a desert, because it offered a bit of civilization and amenities...

But most importantly, FREEDOM.

To do the often dirty, forbidden things that are outlawed or scrutinized under Law elsewhere.

Freedom is often used in perverse and even perhaps dangerous ways -- it is only until it unduly burdens or interferes with one other's Freedom that there is reason to intervene.

Las Vegas kept it's hands off, legalized prositution, gambling...

And has a roaring economy because of it.


We follow the Vegas model, we go back to Capitalism, and open-throttle economy.

We regulate (again, more "feel good" than material results -- other than Mexicans taking otherwise American jobs,) we outlaw "because God looks upon x unfavorably," or other such rubbish, and IMPEDE COMMERCE...

(ie, "Blue" Laws pertaining to drinking and alcohol sales on certain days, "State stores" that are sole outlets for alcohol in some north-eastern states (ONLY *I* the STATE can sell the naughty things, NOT THE MARKET) etc)

We'll ALL lose out for it.

The key to an open-throttle economy is keeping your go... your hands off.

Once the emotional nonsense, religious, "liberal," and whathaveyou, is flushed from the Law books, THEN will we see major movement.

Freedom OF Movement is economic at it's core -- all of it ties together.

(Imagine for a moment the "privilege" of driving being "suspended" for A MONTH for ONE EIGHTH of this nation's drivers... IMAGINE THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE -- We stop moving, WE DIE, that simple. It is a RIGHT, not a privilege, as are ALL THINGS until expressly stated otherwise under Law -- and of course, you go around killing people, with knife or with car, you STILL go to jail, so spare me the "licensing saves" nonsense; it "saves" nothing that wouldn't have been addressed OTHERWISE, only serving to employ needlessly more Government workers at taxpayer expense)
