To celebrate Independence Day, I'm going to a couple service calls, to
pay my overwhelming debt. I'll drive my NYS inspected, EPA approved
vehicle. Complying with the speed limits, and sobriety levels. I'll
signal all my turns, and obey the traffic signs and signals. I started
this morning with my medicine, purchased at government approved
pharmacy, and meets FDA standards. I'll stop on the way to buy gasoline
with mandated 10% ethanol, and hope it doesn't clog my EPA mandated
catalytic converter. I'll remember to slow down and merge over, if I see
any police with vehicles pulled over. And wear my NYS mandated seat
belt. Cheerfully stop and chat with the police at the road side check
points. Before I go, I ought to check and see if all my NYS mandated
signal and headlight bulbs are working. I'll probably go to a government
approved fireworks show, tonight, as personally owned fireworks are
illegal. I'll be sure to be unarmed, as I don't have government
permission to own a handgun. Will bring my government approved cell
phone, which complies with FCC parts and regulations, in case I get
mugged, and need to call for a government employed policeman with a gun,
to deal with the criminal who is illegally carrying unlicensed handgun.
Might buy some FDA approved groceries on the way home, using US
government issued dollars and coins. We sure are blessed to live in a
free nation.
You can always stay home, not driving on government supplied roads -
which would be even less safe without government enforced safety
rules, and suffer through any ailments , treating them with
questionable remedies supplied by unqualified witch-doctors.When you
did decide to drive your off-road vehicle the fuel (totally
unregulated) may or may not be of sufficient quality to run the
engine, and the un-regulated engine would puke out nasty stinky
exhaust, causing you to cough your lungs out and go looking for the
witch doctor again. Instead of being pulled over for a road check by a
friendly police officer you would be pulled over by a highwayman and
relieved of anything of value you may be carrying - and be shot by him
if you attempted to resist using your unregulated gun, because he'll
shoot first and ask questions later, assuming you would do the same if
you had the chance. When you needed to use your unregulated cell
phone to call the mobster you pay protection to, you would not be able
to get through because someone was using the uncontrolled frequency to
transmit some other signal, or interference from some other
unregulated device was interfering. On the way home you would pick up
food of indeterminate quality, possibly contaminated with toxins or
disease because there is no inspection process, and no rules against
selling deadfall animals for human consumption. And you would need to
figure out some way to compensate the seller with some "currency"
acceptable to the supplier and available to you - perhaps the comfort
of your wife for the night.


You Damned well ARE blessed to live in a "free nation"
