One way to chip away at the freedom you enjoy is to force a person to buy a toll transponder that is actually a tracking device. Take a way the ability to pay a toll with cash and most cars will have to get the transponder. This is the road we are headed.

Jesus, those are dead end tourist attraction rides. Both are essentially dirt trails to get to the top of the mountain. They're not part of any road system, nor can you use them to get anywhere except that specific destination.

What do you think, we're New Hampsters or something?

Guess where you can't go when you have any of these items.

I'm more concerned with online nutjobs watching every move I make in cyberspace/Mock than I am concerned with the Feds tracking me.

That is more realistic.
To think the "Government" gives two twits about what we as individuals are legally doing on a daily basis is both narcissistic and delusional.

Could someone please explain what we're all free to do/our freedom? Great, TIA.

I've had an "E-Z-Pass" (transponder) for many years now. I got it because I had to travel over the Whitestone Bridge frequently. And going on the "cash" toll lines took forever, you had to try to pull over to the extreme right 2 lanes. (Difficult) Not to mention they preferred exact toll, or small bills for them to change. If you used anything larger then a $5, they took forever to give you change, and then they always gave back 19 "singles".

Anyway, over time, they made more & more tolls E-Z-Pass, even branching out to the NJ Tpk, & GS Pkway, plus now most, if not all tolls in the tri state area are E-Z-Pass. It is kinda convient.
Yes they can & do track my travels, but it is convienent, & it is convienent, & it is convienent, & it is con . . . . . . .

Of course that must be it.

Fear.

it's such a great word for a coward to use.

And there it is.
