| #2 And 'they' think they can just pass a 'law' or 'regulation' to turn them in? How about a practice banning the sale of any automobile that can exceed 75mph. We'll just call any such conveyance an 'assault' vehicle. Remember, it's for your own good and safety, cause we all know that speed kills. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?) |
