Unsafe at any speed...


Well, that's not quite right, but, if you're driving a small, ("Smart"-ish) car don't run into something larger... (Courtesy of the National Review Online)

...the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ran a rather expensive series of tests in which it pitted a smaller vehicle against the next size larger vehicle from the same manufacturer. Specifically, they ran a Honda Fit into a Honda Accord,

a Toyota Yaris into a Toyota Camry,

and a Mercedes C Class into a Smart Fortwo (owned by Mercedes).
And the gov't is looking for this to just get better worse more... worse.

It must be nice...

I WILL NOT PAY

"We, the "old geezers", never had the right to try to force you to pay $180,000 of your money that you would earn tomorrow, an amount that has almost tripled in the last ten years and will triple again if you don't put your foot down and demand it stop."

Are you under 18? Yes? Good. Have you ever voted? No? Good. Have you ever voted for someone who promised to give you something? No? Good! Otherwise, not so good. :^( Please consider starting or joining the movement to opt-out of the slavery to which you would have been entangled by saying, "I WILL NOT PAY!"

Vermont leads the way!

According to Vermont's Constitution, you're a liability to the State if you don't own the means to protect yourself and the State. Read this to find out about the registration and taxation that would be required by implementation legislation:

Apparently this is something babies like to do:

Thievery as entertainment...
