Right now it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

"So if you don't want to consent to be under these doctrines, then I would think that you would stop voluntarily applying for these privileges."
How about the guy on the bicycle? Did he "apply for these privileges"? As far as I know, no adult needs a license to ride a bicycle on a public street – yet many are still getting DUIs.

Although I understand peoples disdain for the court's opinions, one must remember that license, registration and insurance are all aspects of admiralty/maritime law, and as such, demonstrate that the holders of these benefits are members of a regulated enterprise system (commerce). All of the implied consent doctrines revolve around these attributes of a regulated enterprise system under admiralty/maritime law. So if you don't want to consent to be under these doctrines, then I would think that you would stop voluntarily applying for these privileges. Quit playing governments game of fictions, learn to live without them and stop contributing financial aid to your own bondage.

MADD is aptly "self-monicker-ed."
Nothing further needs be said.

As usual from this reader, an insightful commentary. For an answer to your question, read The True Believer by Eric Hoffer, a small book I read at Berkeley in the 60s that influenced much of my thinking.

Excellent presentation. It's only become worse in the ensuing years.
MADD's "court watchers" are also busy applying political pressure to prosecutors and judges. DUI prosecutors no longer have discretion to drop a case due to a poor set of facts and evidence. It is much better for their careers to proceed to trial against a person they know to be innocent than to draw the ire of MADD…and just maybe a similarly coerced or biased judge will ensure their conviction anyway.
The Supreme Court's dismantling of the constitution regarding DUI also promotes a culture of "the end justifies the means" throughout the rest of the law enforcement/legal system. If misconduct and crimes are committed by public officials in their effort to "protect the public" from DUI…that's okay. The court's DUI rulings promote corruption.

I'm curious though….do you think that you persuaded any True Believers? Can True Believers be persuaded of anything?
