That’s because for a gobsmacking number of people, judicial decisions are the absolute final word. My attitude wouldn’t be nearly so cynical if we were talking about an average person, like you or me.

For this putrid waste of oxygen, though, judicial decisions are just another inconvenience for his lawyers to appeal, delay, or simply ignore. It doesn’t even matter if those lawyers are incompetent. Some magical circumstances always seem to protect him from consequences.

As far as I’m concerned, he has not genuinely suffered any consequences until he ACTUALLY pays up or goes to prison.

You provide an excellent example regarding training requirements. As part of those, I would also like to include safe use and home storage.

Yes, I’m American.

If a trail is off limits to motorized vehicles, then it’s off limits to motorized vehicles. That should be the end of the discussion.

If someone thinks the laws are unfair and should be changed, then they should fight to change those laws. The worst thing they can do is be a smug asshole who thinks they’re justified in breaking the law because their motorized vehicle is “different”.

People with second amendment bumper stickers on their trucks seem to selectively forget the “well regulated” part.

Experience. Learning when it’s okay not to give a fuck, and when I definitely should.

If all cars were designed by computer with the sole purpose of being as aerodynamically perfect as possible, all cars would look the same.

Yeah. I’m reluctant to tip anywhere that doesn’t offer table service.
