I hate that phrase, driving is a priveledge not a right. Driver licenses were issued way back when large trucks were damaging the street surfaces, they needed a way to tax those trucks some extra money to "repair" the streets. Before that, anyone could drive. Then they figured out if they had licenses for everyone they could get even more money, so they started applying licenses to all drivers. The government is all about money, nothing that they do is in our (the people's) interest, even if they say it's for our own good. Look at EVERY LAW the government has passed saying it's for our interest, and it's just a way for them to make money or to control us from uprising. It's true that people should wear seat belts, but I don't think they could care less about who dies, they are just looking for money.
Instead of putting more cops in bad neighborhoods and stopping crime at it's roots, they rather spend more money making more jail space to house criminals. Why? Cause in jail they can make those people work for free, cleaning roads, making license plates etc. The governments wants more people in jail. Have you heard of FEMA work camps? Get ready for this, those who are now losing thier jobs will be slowly put into these work camps where you bascailly work in exchange for food and housing. Everyday we lose more freedoms, it's begining to look like Hitler's Germany where he began by implementing new laws to fix things, and everyone loved him in the begining cause all of his new health programs and laws, but as people trusted him more he slowly began to squeeze people more and more with his laws, taking thier guns, adding curfews, like putting a frog in a pot and raising the heat slowly till it dies. Looks to me like we're headed in the same direction, cameras everywhere, you can't criticize the government..this isn't America anymore.
