As long as I pay for my internet connection, I will have final say in what comes down the pipe.

If you don't like that, then you can pay me for the bandwidth you are sucking up to run your ads.

And if that's unacceptable to you, then maybe you should invest in a filter to block those who block your spam.

I believe Ayn Rand put it best CheeseDuck.

Loosely...

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

In short, yes, they want people to run red lights, as well as any of the other untold number of fools laws on the books.

The fear and paranoia of breaking laws are powerful tools in the hands of the state.

Whoever the scumbag is that did this needs a few years in a state prison to think about his decision to pull such a "prank".

There's no excuse for any sort of unprovoked assault and this is can be considered nothing else.
