All of those "enhancements" have their places, but the important part is that they should be voluntary.

Whenever hubs and I go anywhere, I drive. We go in his car, though, because it's newer and safer. But the first thing I do when I get in the car is turn off that damned lane assist. That thing scares me to death. Hubby likes it and uses it when he's driving by himself. But that's not even important. What IS important is to have the choice.

So, even though my choices would be different, I'm with you in that we should get that choice.

A response that's more direct than the one I left on Freedoms post:

"The Many are Punished, because of a few and in Favor of a few, by those of the few and not of the many."

With freedom of choice, many of these items may have become a wanted standard feature but most importantly, should never be considered illegal to be without those features.
Both choices get worked out in a free market, To Have or Have not . . .

And here again, it's been my observation that as an entire population on this planet, we are not ready for complete un-regulated freedom.
Make no mistake, there is a large swath within the population that IS or at least very close to being deserving of complete freedom, but we are not the majority. The majority is not consciously introspective and cannot fully appreciate personal property, which includes the individual, his mind body and life.

So, we're back to a little ditty I wrote in the beginning pages of "The Fight for Conscious Human Life": "Man made rules, punish the many, because of a few, in favor of a few and to aggrandize the man that made the rule".

Problem is, the men that make the rules, are not deserving of total freedom either, leaving the 40% that are . . . up shits Creek without a paddle

Lord Tytler Woodhouselee appeared eerily prophetic as the Scottish judge, writer, professor, and historian described the cyclical stages of democracy. He portrayed societies moving from bondage to spirituality to courage to liberty to abundance to complacency to apathy to dependence, and back to bondage. From the late ’90s to the tragedy of 9/11, my intellectual inquisitiveness reignited, and I realized we were fast approaching the latter stages of his insightful observation.

Heh heh. Cynical me expects DOGE to be soon forgotten and dismantled so DC business as usual can move forward, but in the meantime maybe some good can come out of it.

RE: your last comment:
Don't count on DOGE. Buy more ammo.
D.C. is a target rich environment. ;^)

Eric Peters hits the nail on the head every time I've read any of his articles.

Indeed. I absolutely HATE vehicles that shut off at every stop regardless of how short the stop may be as I was forced to have when renting a vehicle on a trip. On another trip I ended up with a vehicle that had lane correction and almost had a sideswipe collision. I was in the second lane on a four lane section of highway when the person on my right started encroaching on my lane so being clear I just started to move to my left to avoid collision - the damn car "grabbed" the steering wheel and tried to force me to the right back into the lane. Scary piece of Schiff!!! At least I was able to override the computer and force the car to the left anyway. I was later told if I put on my left signal the computer wouldn't have taken over - yeah, right, I'm about to get smacked and I have to worry about an effing signal to appease a computer.

Way too many busy body control freaks allowed to run lose in government. I hope DOGE fires them all!!!

no
but they do have prisons and most people are too clueless to understand that the Bill of Rights is a limit on government, not We the People

Yup first part is the Gerry family. The second part is for a salamander. Describing the shape of the new redistrcted area.

The best slave to own is the one that denies they are slaves.

Washington, in his farewell address, warned against that very "reinterpretation."

The more I see of newer vehicles the more I like our 1992 D250 with the Cummins Engine. Best small-truck engine ever made.

So one day at Walmart a guy says to me, "I had one of those and like an idiot I sold it. You want to sell me that one?" I replied, "Do I look like an idiot?"

My brothers once had a '57 Chevy station wagon. The good ones on eBay look like they are going between $30,000 and $180,000. Had we but known!

Thank you for that etymological explanation. 👍

Good article, LibertyPen. 👍
You have an ally in Eric Peters at https://www.ericpetersautos.com/categ...

Yes, I looked it up.

Haha!!!

Does everyone already know that the word gerrymander comes from the name of Elbridge Gerry? And that the Gerry family, to this day, pronounces the name with a hard G? It's like GHerry, not Jerry. (Yet another of my one-man crusades to unscrew the inscrutable.)

Yawn! La-dee-dah. Um, do yawl know why men can get pregnant?
Bet good ole Chucky Schumer knows why. He's AOC's pee-pee. Pelosi's too. Crocket kin sock it also
Dat's cause a woman who don't know whut a woman is makes a great Supreme Court justice, that's whut why. Yeah. Ho-hum.
Thet's why it be okay for mediocre male athletes ter expose their girlie sissy parts in in lady locker rooms fer winning all the first place trophies.
Now crack me open anudder Bud Light. Burp!
Talk ter me about God and I'll call it a she. Hee! Hee! Wheeee!

Love the pro oxygen one, but think the next diatribe from Liberals would be: "Oxygen causes the fires in LA and is 84% of CO2!!"

Here's to gaining seats the old fashioned "Democrat" way... REDISTRICTING!

Great stuff!

Hang 'em. 👍

REAL people were hurt in the Epstein mess. that does need to be addressed at some point (soon)

2. it could be that the Epstein mess is tied up in the FBI, CIA stuff (people compromised and being used as intel sources, ect)

3. the MORE important issue at this time, due to Trump only having so much time to get things done is to address the corruption caused by the democrat traitors and the deep state.

4. 0bama has ZERO IMMUNITY on this. actions taken by him are clear, he acted to push the lie of Russia-Gate. this is NOT a protected normal action of the Office of the President. if it is, then Nixon did nothing wrong

Yep, definitely that green one! Regarding DC on this board we see NIFO often enough. Well, NIFO the left half is a good start.

Nice, OUC. Looks like some justice may be ready to roll. The Donald's crew put up the spotlights, now it's time to pull out the stops.
