Tim, I just changed my mind on the mileage tax. I think it's an EXCELLENT idea. In fact, I think the concept can be expanded to include satellite tracking of speeders. Revenues from fines will be pouring in, and the streets will be a lot safer since no one would dare speed. That means lower auto insurance costs, less crowded trauma units, etc.

Not only that, but we'll be able to track registered sex offenders and keep tabs on where they go every minute of every day. If, for example, a convicted pedophile violates a restraining order and goes within 10 yards of an elementary school, cops will show up and haul his ass away in minutes.

Cars with expired registrations or other issues (for example, failed emissions test) can also be tracked, thus leading to few uninsured drivers on the road and less air pollution.

And I can go on and on. The possibilities are limitless!
