From the promised LAND
I have something that really gets under my skin over the last year. That is the demanding of rights by those that have not paid the price for those rights.
Take for example the signs that the bike clubs have erected on many of our state routes. The sign says the bikers have a "right" to that road.
Well lemme see. I have a car. The road was built for me to use the car on. I pay taxes to keep that road in good condition via tags and gas taxes. That assures me that the roads will be in good shape for me to use tomorrow.
Now, the bike rider pays no tag tax, no fuel taxes, nothing. Not only that, but in many cases he poses a threat to themselves and motorists by being only able to go 5-15 MPH, rides all over the lane in manner such as would get you pulled over if you were driving a car that way. They also seem to ride in packs that make them almost impossible to pass safely.
So what gives them the right to "hog" the road way while myself, who has paid for that right via taxes, has to submit to their pace on that road.
