- Actually a "Good Alternative" would be to force the govt
- to use your tax money in an efficient manner and remove
- all tolls.
- The Govt here has a tendency to pass laws and then renege
- (on the promises of what they WON'T use them for)
- on them once they have the basics in place, just have a look
- at the gun laws here, social security numbers, and coming
- down the road is going to be DNA registration. If you believe
- they won't I have a real nice piece of real estate on the
- east river in new york city that has a revenue producing
- bridge on it for sale and will give a 50% discount for cash.
- Kinda like a major auto manufacturer whose "check engine"
- lite comes on around 50,000 miles so that when you take it
- into a dealer they can reset it, I always found it coincidental
- that the lite comes on around the time the emissions requir-
- ments expire and the fact that you brought it in for service
- is recorded into their data base. My son who is 7 feels that
- fingerprinting is ok and the teacher told him anyone who is
- against it must be hiding something.
