Judge Decrees stock Tail Lights Illegal

Anatoray · 07-17-2010, 01:10 PM

This country has an election system that simply doesn't work with how large the country has become. Not saying there's a better system, but everyone well educated knows that people vying for election effectively prey on the weak and uninformed for that important swing vote.

This past election was the worst I'd seen in recent elections for this kind of tactic on all fronts. The reasons people were saying they were voting for or against Obama made me shake my head.

Edit: On topic, that judge and cops were complete ******** about everything, but this sort of thing isn't unheard of. States form their own laws and regulations after the federal government sets the national "standard" as it may be called. My dad's 4Runner's factory window tint isn't legal everywhere. He's SOL despite the fact that the car was produced with it.

All killers have blue license plate covers and clear rear lights...the cop was just profiling you.

Also, despite the fact most Americans are moderate, we can't get a moderate candidate because the republican and democrat system is only giving us people who are WAY left and right. Again, these people don't represent us.

And lobbying should be illegal... I'd much rather if elections were paid for with tax money and not simply open to whomever has the most cash to run.

I wouldn't say we have a gov't that is currently overly left. I don't recall universal health care being passed; nor any new laws being put on the books that strengthen unions/collective bargining to help ensure workers salaries are actually ahead of, rather than just below, inflation; nor do I recall any excessive capital gains taxes being levied. Actually the tax burden shifted all of about 3% onto those who can most afford it rather than on those who can't.

Also, although I'm pretty happy with the current admin and impressed by most of their efforts, I'm NOT happy that Bush era warrantless wire tapping wasn't made illegal. Maintaining that policy is definitely more right than left.

Eight years of Dubya shifted the discussion so far to the right, people identify anyone interested in some basic regulation aimed at protecting people as a granola crunching hippy.

Or a Nazi, hilariously enough. Go figure.

(End of rant)
