If you damaged your car because an unlicensed, uninsured driver in a car that's either a junker worth nothing, stolen or both intentionally caused an accident for whatever reason, I think it's probably safe to say you wouldn't be so stoic about letting bygones be bygones.

And yeah, I'm making assumptions about the unlicensed and uninsured parts. But if somebody did that to you would you really think, "Yeah, that temp tag is probably legit and that's a totally legal vehicle and the driver is otherwise an upstanding citizen suffering a fit of temporary road rage?" At best they're a fuckin' douchebag, still.

I mean...I'm pretty goddamned liberal, but I kinda agree with the conservatives on the slippery slope this kind of policy would create...

Not that I necessarily think there are conservatives who are against such a plan, especially if it would primarily impact poor people. But they tend to be such avid skiers that I normally associate any kind of governmental slippery slope with them.

So what I'm seeing is: lobbyists make a fuckload of money no matter what special interest they represent.

In my early 30s I biked something like 85 miles in a day. It took me about 6 hours to do that and my legs were sore for about a week after.

Biking an extra 30 miles, running a marathon and swimming 2.4 miles on top of that, in only 2.5 additional hours is fucking nutty.
