Where will we be if people had a choice. Surely, freedom is the greatest threat to liberty there is. :)<BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, this seems to me a perversion of the term liberty and it reminds me of all the right-wing talk show hosts who talk about freedom but actually advocate policies curtail it. All in the name of freedom. Again, perverted terminology... War is Peace, that sort of thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927108.post-17413942500320799922008-06-13T09:50:00.000-07:002008-06-13T09:50:00.000-07:00Right on Linda.

I think we should take this guy's advice and move toward a truly free market. No more government subsidies for building roads, parking, etc. The driver will pay his or her true fair share for the freedom of the open road. No more tax breaks for auto manufacturers or oil companies. I wonder what the true cost of this "freedom" would be if the driver bore the entire true costs of driving? I have a feeling that most people, other than say Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, could not afford to drive at all. Sounds great to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927108.post-58745361618344601932008-06-12T14:35:00.000-07:002008-06-12T14:35:00.000-07:00My favorite line is..."Admittedly, the roads gener...My favorite line is...<BR/><BR/>"Admittedly, the roads generally are constructed by government, albeit with funds extracted from the earnings and gasoline purchases of drivers."<BR/><BR/><I>Translation: The Interstate Highway system is socialist, but please look beyond that because that fact undermines the rest of my cockamamie argument.</I><BR/><BR/>What a joker!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927108.post-11117887619469367992008-06-12T14:01:00.000-07:002008-06-12T14:01:00.000-07:00It's a as a badge of honor that these fools feel t...It's a as a badge of honor that these fools feel their way of life is somehow threatened by evil light-rail trams and bicycle lanes.<BR/><BR/>This is progress!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
