    Maybe they’re saying 4000 lane miles in the state.

    This guy talks about organic change and then immediately lists changes that are being driven by the government instead of organically.

    This guy has got to be trolling. Nobody's self-awareness level could possibly be that low.

    Since they haven't been used in over 160 years it's obvious to me they'll never be used again. There have been countless reasons to do something to stop what's happening yet all I hear is the same canned responses ad nauseum. Nobody will do anything as long as they're fat and happy. Add some true strife, take away the digital prison bars and then our "rights" won't matter because our primal instincts will finally run the show the way it ought to be. The Founders would vomit if they could see what we've become today.

    The speed governor's on mega fleet units are all about fuel efficiency not safety. Next time you are next to one of these safe trucks at a stop take a good look at the overall condition of the power unit. Safety is not a priority to them. HA9366ZN.jpeg

    You've completely missed the point of my post.

    And yet personal arsenals have been expanded at a feverish rate in the last number of years.

    ...and yet no action has been taken for almost two centuries. An election was just stolen in plain view and still nothing was done.

    Were you ready to take action?

    I understand your point and don't want to start an argument, but I believe that there will someday be a line that is crossed.
