Etherwalk writes "The New York Times is reporting on developments in the quest to charge driving fees for all vehicles headed below 86th Street in Manhattan. Notably absent from any part of the discussion is that a record is made of every car or truck that enters, together with the vehicle ownership information and the date and time of travel — either as part of EZ-Pass or in license-plate photos taken for subsequent billing."

    I'm continously suprised! The silence of the intellectual crooks is deafening. This rich situation begs for answers.

    Rest assured gentlemen, the standing ovation you're producing for opponents of the plan will undeniably create plausive deniability for silently altering the plans in a roaring crescendo victory for freedom.

    I'm not sure that the sound of a car or truck will be a best seller when pressed on a record. Besides, most people use CDs or MP3s these days.
