Socialists on Parade Invade
You thought, ok. making the wearing of seat belts a law is a good thing. It protects those too stupid to protect themselves. You may have even told yourself that it was to help lower the cost of insurance.
Then, you allowed your government to outlaw the use of your hands to hold a cell-phone while driving. You told yourself, these stupid people can't talk and drive at the same time. Serves the public good to prevent accidents by people talking on cell phones. And, amazingly enough you were ok with the hands-free phone technology. You said it made no difference and prevented many a accident.
Now, not content to leave you alone now, bent upon all the power you have given them over these last few decades, representatives are now going after more things you do in a car. For the public good.
Are you ok with this too? When are you going to finally open your eyes and see that this is an inch by inch encroachment into your personal freedoms. Each new law like these takes away more from personal choice and responsibility.
What will be enough for you to say, "Enough!"? Will it be when they make hands-free radio mandatory? Or when they bring back the auto-locking seatbelts? Or how about when they outlaw fast food drive-thrus? It would save the planet and prevents billions road accidents.
Or, how about just outlawing fast food restaurants altogether? You are too stupid to feed yourself and your kids correctly based on government established guidelines. It is for the public good!!
These are not isolated examples. Check HERE and HERE.
Or, will you be finally upset enough to take a stand for your own freedoms when they take your car away? How about when they take your truck or SUV away from you? Wouldn't it be better for the environment and the safety of everyone on the road if everyone was in mass-transit? (Aren't all our cities moving that direction?)

New Jersey has already taken cell phones and text messaging out of the hands of drivers, and now one legislator hopes to do the same with in-car navigation systems.
Democratic State Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith has introduced a bill that would “prohibit the manual operation of a global positioning system (GPS) device or similar navigation device by the operator of a moving motor vehicle”. If passed, the ban would be the first of its kind in the nation.
