Oh Canada

Read some of the arguments on this Canadian website for electronic vehicle tags. Some of the stuff makes sense. Less pollution, better traffic management, criminal location. All good. Unfortunately this would also make everyone a criminal. And force me to submit to unwarranted surveillance and invasion. There's something about the government putting tracking devices on everyone and supplying the information to anyone (insurance companies, law enforcement, traffic planners, who else?) that gives me the willies.

Homer: So I said to him, "Look, buddy, your car was upside down when we got here. And as for your Grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that!"
Lisa: Dad, don't you see you're abusing your power like all vigilantes? I mean, if you're the police, who will police the police?
Homer: I dunno. Coast Guard?

Lookit, I don't really care if you guys track where I go to a certain extent. I just don't want to have to drive like an 84 year old grandmother when I go places. What's next, mandatory poop analysis to adjust sewer diameter, narcotics control, and universal healthcare? Actually... maybe I should suggest that to someone.
