Lol
Of course you didn't read it. Because as Mutt noted, IF you had you would know I debunked several falsehoods in Hanson's article.

Your naked embrace of willful ignorance is quite impressive.

Ok. Now then, my opinion is based on his fallacies, as examples noted and linked. Yours is based on what?

Logic, visual acuity, corroborating stats and Dale Earnhardt would agree with me

What is excellent about it? He's just shouting from his soap box but not really proving any of his claims, like this:
Quote:
"California’s Department of Motor Vehicles is perhaps the worst public-service entity in the United States. To enter any branch office is to venture into a Dante’s Inferno of huge lines, chaos, unkept rest rooms, and rude and often incompetent unionized employees. The only efficient DMV office in the state is the unmarked and secret branch in Sacramento reserved for state legislators"
I don't know what DMV office he finds that is like Dante's Inferno, but the one local to me isn't horrible. Mr. Hanson has a reputation for writing fact-free screeds, this article is a superb example of just that.

Saying so doesn’t make it so. I’m curious for your details not yet shared.

I didn't have to. Your post is as much BS deflection as you claim his is.
