rights v. "privileges" for the behaved classroom
could’ve sworn i had an old rant somewhere about … ahh, here it is.
thanks to col. hogan out there in stalag california for the following refreshing spew:
At some point during the early history of the automobile, one of these parasitic slimeballs saw yet another way to separate the Productive American from his dollars: he persuaded his fellow blood suckers that they could declare driving a privilege, revocable at government whim–then make Mr and Ms Productive American pay for the privilege.Why weren’t these thieving subhumans hanged from the bridges built by the aforementioned Productive Americans, and over which these Productive Americans drove their new-fangled horseless carriages?
We’re living with the results today. Almost no one objects when these thugs reassert the lie that driving is a privilege, not a right.
it’s a subject that doesn’t get nearly enough attention. good job, colonel. you’ve kept me, this once, from repeating myself. something tells me this is going to be an even more important topic soon.

This article on the history of highway and vehicle regulations might be of interest.

thanks. reading now, though this sorta thing bums me out. important to know, but it’s like reading about how somebody was raped and tortured while thousands just stood there, thumbs up asses.
