    staying warm?

    One way to improve your existence going this route is to have a remote auto-start. That way, you wake up and hit the button and let the van warm up while you hit the snooze alarm a couple times. That's another so-so fix for winter idling. Run the engine to warm up the van, go to sleep. If...

    Hmmm...wonder why that is. Maybe more people getting pulled over.

    People are gonna lose their jobs over this…

    P.J. O'Rourke said it best: "If you think health care is expensive now, wait 'til you see what it costs when it's free."

    How did all the Republicans get elected?

    Not that it's much of an improvement. The republicans are only about 4% better than the Demon-crats. It'll just take us a little longer to reach the cliff.

    I don't think anyone knows what agency is doing this. I'll probably be talking with that owner again in a few days, so I can ask him more about that.

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    With Michigan plates, it probably would be reasonable and logical, because he's operating under another law that says that all such Michigan-plated CVs must have door signs regardless of whether they're for commercial use or not. But for out-of-state vans, they not only have to be carrying...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    The reason that sounds crazy is that you're talking about licensure. A license, by definition, is official permission to do what is otherwise illegal. My premise, that it's a right, either a birthright or qualified, would negate the existence of a license. That's the way it used to be in this...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    How much time do you have to sort through all those issues? It would take a lot of time. I don't have a problem with saying that there are issues that exist now that the founding fathers couldn't POSSIBLY have foreseen or allowed for, like your example of flying a plane, or a standing army...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    In all fairness, I didn't include information among those references that differentiated personal driving from commercial driving. Some of those references did make a difference, calling commercial driving regulable.

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    One? Sorry, can't do that. I can, however, find you several (and btw, these first ones come from an affidavit from a case in Michigan, a case that was won by the one asserting that driving is a right): Kent v. Dulles, 357 U.S. 116, 125 Ligare v. Chicago, 28 N.E. 934; See: Boone v. Clark...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    A state SAYING it's a privilege doesn't make it a privilege. Are there other privileges? What else would be a privilege similar to the so-called privilege of driving? Look, I realize you've been told all your life that driving is a privilege, and you've bought into it without thinking about...

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    Sure enough.

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Fortunately, the founding fathers didn't give a whit about assumptions and demanded probable cause, from which the edges have been worn off by courts to produce reasonable suspicion, but reasonable suspicion that must still be articulable and particularized. And when a cop reasons that, because...

    ...and the rights of out-of-state drivers that are trampled when they're enforced against those to whom those laws aren't applicable, like CVs registered elsewhere, which was the scenario in the OP. No, it's a matter for those whose rights may be violated. It's your DUTY as a Michigander to...

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    Awesome and awful can be interchangeable in that regard, as can other words, like terrible. There are high-church prayers that begin, "O great and terrible God..." see Deut. 3:21--Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 1. Adapted...

    And the same obligation to obey the law while they do. The Bill of Rights is the supreme law of the land, and I have every right to demand they obey it. You remember what I pointed out about assumptions, right? And you don't see anything odd or backwards about that? You don't see that as...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    And I don't dispute that; I'm just saying that the Bill of Rights protections against the government interfering with my right to travel and my right to be secure in my person still apply, and that there are standards that apply if they feel that I'm in violation, standards that aren't met if...
