Huh, how 'bout that - "The state trooper driving Gov. Jon Corzine was going 91 mph before their SUV swerved off the road and slammed into a Parkway guardrail last week." We already knew that Corzine wasn't wearing his seat belt as required by the laws of the state he rules.
But he's a ruler - the rules don't apply to the rulers, except maybe the rule of physics that says if you're going 91 mph and your vehicle stops suddenly, you will keep going at 91 mph.
As an anarchist "scofflaw" who was written up for seatbelt violations TWICE in a three-week period two years ago, I should have something snotty to say about this bit of news. But I don't.
More and more the ol' U.S. of A. seems like a cross between 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 - Where's Simon Jester or V when you need them?
This little spot on the 'Net is meant as a place to explore ways to carve out what freedom we can in this nanny-government, corporate Big Brother world - and enjoy the bread and circuses along the way.
Who am I? Well, Tom Paine once wrote, "Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the Public, as the Object for Attention is the DOCTRINE ITSELF, not the MAN."

That situation just keeps getting more and more Animal Farm, doesn't it?

I'm surprised no politician has written a bill to repeal the law of gravity.
