I honestly wonder how so many politicians avoid getting shot.

Some Toledo, Ohio residents are being ticketed for parking in their own driveway because of a law making it illegal to park on any road surface that isn't paved.

By passing such a law the Toledo government is assuming ownership of people's property, meaning residents essentially rent their land and homes from the state. Pseudo-property owners are forced to pay their own mortgages, but it's up to the government to determine how property is to be used. This is fascism.

Of course, I am just a little jealous of the people of Toledo. The fascists comprising my corps of county commissioners prevent me from parking on asphalt driveways by making it illegal to pave my gravel road without a permit. And, of course, it's six years and counting that they've refused to issue a permit.

(Thanks to Dan)
