Earl:

I'm not advocating tobacco smoke detectors, or any other kind of smoke
detectors. I'm just saying that the information "black boxes" of today
contain, and ways they are now being used are just the beginning of
ever-increasing controls, regulations, limitations of personal freedoms and
possible taxations on all of our lives.

Foolish question, but why shouldn't you pay extra taxes for the miles you
drive (to pay your share of the road repairs), when compared to someone who
doesn't drive as many miles? Why shouldn't you be charged/convicted based
on your actions in a collision, rather than relying on your perhaps
faulty/dishonest recollection of split second timing months later?
