restricting property ownership


How? Thorazine? Valium? Cocaine?

You can't regulate behavior.

~~ sheesh ~~


I think you're confusing regulate with control. Speed limits are a
'regulation' of behavior. I don't think the horsepower limitation of 500hp
would do ****. Maybe a 35hp limit would be suitable. Whether a hp limit or
a speed limit, the attempt is to regulate behavior.


Another joke gone wrong.

I need a vacation. :)
