We live in the Hut! Hut! Hut! era. Armed government workers (AGWs) wearing Batman-style utility belts packed with multiple mags and high-powered "assault" weapons over their Robocop body armor are far more likely to end your life than doing 70 in a 55.

Every encounter with them is a threat to our safety.

Even if you aren't Tazed and dragged out of your car by one of these odd juxtapositions of muscled-up and tattoo'd poltroonery (I feared for my safety!) and hair-trigger brutality (stop resisting!) most people just can't afford to "speed" anymore.

The extortion note – styled a "ticket" – the AGW forces you to sign at gunpoint (see what happens if you decline to sign) is just the beginning. The Oz Panopticon will take note the moment you're duly convicted and then comes the second extortion note – this one from the insurance mafia. The already-absurdly expensive "coverage" you're forced to buy, also at gunpoint (see what happens if you stop paying) suddenly costs 20 percent more . . . for the next five years.
