And/or a texting-while-driving ticket, or a tax lien.

Negotiator75 - I have no problem keeping my thoughts to myself while working or paying taxes to the government although I have problems with how some are spent. I can also buy a full auto AK-47 (not that you have ever shot one) and fire it at a range where it is safe as much as I can afford. I have driven 200 mph cars on a race track where I do not put others ar risk for my freedom. I also went to college with help from the GI Bill that I prepaid for in 'Nam.

You are always free to find some other place more to your liking. Like your mother’s basement.

You might of made a good point, however, lets focus on what you said about regulation.

Why invest MILLIONS of DOLLARS in the advancement of technology if more than likely the resulting products fall victim to ridiculous regulations due to no other reason than lack of infrastructure/logic. In other words, they make these fast cars but forgot to make roads designated to use them. They make AK-47 guns but forgot that people actually use them for hunting, but lets BAN everyone from using them because 1 or 2 idiots did bad things with them.

Yes, like strict lane discipline. In Germany, and most of the rest of Europe, it is strictly illegal to drive in the left lane unless you're passing, and people DO get stopped for ignoring that rule -- which almost never happens in the US.

Who's "they"?

The "they" that make fast cars is a very different "they" from the "they" that make roads.

There are probably 50+ flights a day leaving the United States everyday. Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

good point, Obama wants to change the fundamentals of America. If Obama and his followers don't like America and our constitution there are plenty of outbound planes.
