RussianPooper: jshine: mjoven1975: If you're worried about protecting your freedom you don't live in San Francisco in the first place.

QFT -- SF is not exactly a bastion of libertarianism.

Depends what freedoms you're talking about. If you want to live outside the mainstream, you have the freedom to do that without being ostracized everywhere and denounced by local politicians.

If you only see freedom in terms of how many guns you can have or how much tax you have to pay, then it's not the place for you.

I think the word "freedom" isn't really meaningful if you have to qualify it with something along the lines of "What type of freedom do you mean?". Real "freedom" would include the freedom to have abortions, smoke pot, own as many guns as you please, and have minimal (but not zero, of course) government intrusion into your choices (including taxation). San Francisco is great at respecting a certain sub-set of freedoms, but it's not a particularly expansive set.

/A person need not jump into one of the two traditional political stereotypes.
//My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom it's almost sickening. We're free to choose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster.

If you lived on a street like this, you'd want the cops ticketing dumbasses who weren't curbing their wheels.

Well, they did the same thing for 'marriage', so why stop there? Amirite?

tortilla burger: It seems to me curbing the wheels is an outdated law. I can't see the purpose it serves. In theory it's supposed to keep your car from rolling into the street, but honestly when was the last time that's happened? Maybe back in the day it made sense given the technology in cars, but I've never encountered any instance in my lifetime.

If it gives chickenshiat cops an opportunity to write chickenshiat tickets, it's a law they'll keep on the books until Rome finishes burning.

spentmiles: If I were these people, I would not only stop curbing my vehicle, I would completely stop putting the vehicle in park. I don't think it would take too many rampaging, out of control vehicles flying down the hills of San Francisco for these Meter Maid Nazis to get the point. Sometimes the laws in place need to be broken, along with a lot of bones and personal property, if we want to protect our freedom.

If you're worried about protecting your freedom you don't live in San Francisco in the first place.
