I've already pulled the fuse on the On-Star system in my Blazer and if someone puts any other surveillance equipment in my vehicles I’ll disable that too.

The idea that driving is a privilege rather than a right is a fiction made up by control freaks in government. Unfortunately they have sold it to the public. Imagine, its 150 years ago, and some sheriff stops a traveler and asks to see his horse permit. “Sorry mister, you can’t ride that horse without a government permit, and show me the registration on that Conestoga.” At what point did we give the government the right to restrict our travel?

Speed limits are usually completely arbitrary and unrelated to safety. Actual driver behavior seems never to be taken into account. I think the vast majority of drivers travel at the speed that is comfortable and safe for them. If 90% or more of the drivers on a given road are traveling at a certain speed then that should be the speed limit, not some arbitrary number plucked from the air by a revenue hungry bureaucrat or control freak cop.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
