To just do as you're told is the defining attribute of someone who lacks the quality that once upon a time defined an adult vs. a child. It is probably true that children who are taught to just do as they are told become adults who do as they are told. Parents who want their children to become adults make plain the reason why they tell their child to do as they are told. Because it is important to a child's development to developing understanding as to why – as opposed to just because.

Assuming you expect them to grow up some day.

Why is it that we are not allowed to buy – more finely, to legally drive – a vehicle such as a side-by-side or ATV or any other kind of vehicle on what are said to be public roads? If they are the public's roads, doesn't that imply they are everyone's roads, to be shared by all? Of course, the "public" roads are in fact the government's roads, just the same as "public" schools are government schools. Use of the term "public" is just mind-diddling, intended to cause people to think of what is controlled by the government as being owned by the people.

Why are new vehicles – the ones we're allowed to drive on the government's roads, at any rate – so expensive? Most of the reason why has to do with the government laying down what are called "standards" that every manufacturer of cars must abide by, in order for the cars they make to be legal to sell and legal for us to drive on the government's roads. But why should this be so? The government does not pay for the roads, after all.

We do.

We pay a fee to use the roads every time we buy gas or diesel. Is it not an affront that we who pay to use the roads – and pay for their building and maintenance, etc. – are told how we'll be allowed to use the roads? Is it not as effronterous as being told by the government what we may and may not do with what we like to think of as our own lawns and backyards and everything else that is situated on what we like to think of as "our" property?

Of course, we are merely allowed conditional use of what is in fact that government's property – because we must pay the government rent (even if we "own" the property) and because even though we pay the government, the government still tells us what we're allowed to do and may not do on and with "our" property."
