I think that attitude is a pefect example of this country in general, and that is why the government continues to seize more and more freedoms.
In a way, it’s good to have “lesser” issues like this to help the public organize. That way we’ll be more prepared when they decide to ban all passenger cars with over 300hp, or forced induction on passenger cars, because of the unnecessary pollution they generate.
Anyone who fails to see the connection between this ban, and government interference with free enterprise, misses the point completely.
Abuse the privilege to be ignorant of the government that rules over you, and you will lose that privilege as well.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
