What?

You're now condoning such clearly corrupt and rights-limiting laws as 
ones that state which side of the road I should drive on, what speed I 
should drive at, how straight I should steer my vehicle?

And I thought you were _for_ individuals' rights!

Ethical absolutists like Brian are so funny because of how warped they 
have to get to maintain their absolutism in the bazillions of trivial 
cases where it necessarily must break...

Get a brain Brian or go away.
