    The same poor people you are whining about seem to have no problem providing an ID when signing up for government aid. Or renting a movie. Etc, etc, etc.

    Just how many poor people don't have a driver's license? And in a lot of states a state-provided photo ID can be had for nothing. Hell, they'll even come to your house and take your photo and make you an ID card if you have no way to get to them.

    Tempest in a teapot.

    So true, so true.

    I get my internet from Charter Communications, so for just a few dollars more I can get cable television that looks great compared to YouTube.

    Of course I go one step further and get a package that includes the SEC network. If you can't watch Southeastern Conference football, you're not watching the best football in the country. :p

    What else besides confiscation could they possibly want? We already have all the "reasonable" gun restrictions we need. What would help is simply ENFORCING the gun laws we have.

    The trouble is that nobody on the left wants to do that. It might result in many of their most reliable voters ending up in prison.

  15. How about something "less tech"? on Tesla Autopilot 2.0 Is Coming This Year, Source Confirms (technobuffalo.com) · · Score: 1

    Why don't we focus on making human drivers better? Forget that crap in schools called driver education. Let's have real driver training and make getting a license a lot tougher. Make potential drivers learn the basic skills before they're turned loose on our roads. Have a real road test and not just the "around the block" road test. Retest them every 10 years and every 5 years once they reach the age of fifty. Crack down hard on drunk driving and distracted driving by making the penalties harsh enough to get their attention.

    Right now just about anybody who can breathe can get a license to drive. That's just asking for trouble. Some of you would like to see tougher gun laws, but say nothing about a person using a machine that can, and does, kill thousands per year.

    The other day I read about an accident where a drunk driver killed several people. The article stated that he had more than a dozen DUI convictions! Why the hell was he still on the road?

    Oh, and anybody caught texting and driving would lose their license for at least five years. I work on the side of the road and your texting has made my job extremely dangerous. I'd like to live to retirement, please.

    I'd like to see fewer cars with better drivers on the road. All of you say you'd like to see more people using mass transit. Well, there you go.

    Why do you want a car that drives itself anyway? Is your time so valuable that you can't be bothered with actually driving? Then you're the kind of person who shouldn't be driving anyway. Pay attention and drive. It ain't rocket surgery.

    Still getting eaten alive by mosquitoes? I've been taking a garlic supplement for more than 10 years and I can't remember the last time I was bitten by a mosquito.

    Too many reviews on Amazon are blatant fakes. I've gotten in the habit of looking at a reviewer's other reviews to try to figure out if they're a real person or just reviewing that one product.

    A couple of weeks ago I noticed that 13 out of 15 reviews of one product were by people who had reviewed only that one product, and all were 5 star reviews. Kinda obvious, wouldn't you say?
