Black boxes and a disable sensor/actuator in the plans for all autos? I won't elaborate here, but I have been reading about it for a couple of years now. I do hope it's all a bunch of BS, but I'm not so sure anymore. We are gonna find out, aren't we? We will even pay them to do it to us, no precedent there.



I watched "The Blob" this week, actually a well filmed movie, it reminded me of our governance. That huge growing amoeba like collection of laws and regulatory agency rules, implemented by legislatures and faceless bureaucrats. The truth is the average citizen has no idea of the scope of these "laws" or whether they beak any on a day to day basis. But, that's the point, if they want you, they got you and what average person has the resources to defend themselves. Most scholarship done on the subject estimates the average citizen unknowingly breaks at least two laws a day, if one runs a business, large or small, they break three or four. I'm not for lawlessness, governance of a free people should be simple, rational and not "stealth".

Unfortunately, even discounting the inadvertent "lawlessness", we are becoming more and more willing to knowingly skirt the laws, because so many make no sense or are pandering to a special interest.
