<blockquote>
It's about time that the government did something about automobiles whose sole purpose is to kill pedestrians. As a physician I see the devastation caused by automobiles on a daily basis from vehicular trauma to deaths from diabetes and MI's which are directly the result of automobiles.

<p>Registration was tried with automobiles but it has proved be be an utter failure and prohibition appears to be the only solution. There is no need for anyone who lives in a large city to own an automobile and all of Canada's major metropolitan centers should be designate as automotive free zones in which the only vehicles present would be driven by police, the military or highly screened individuals who require them for work purposes (like doctors).<br />

<p>It goes on - you should click the link to read the whole thing.  The first link for the post and context - the second link to catch the comment in it's entirety (saves you wading through the other comments should you not wish to do so...).</p>

<p>It's just a perfect encapsulation of the smugness of a Nanny-state bureaucrat wrapped in a smarmy blanket of self-righteousness.</p>

        Sigh!!!
The comment was in geste. Because it also easily encompasses the ant-gun argument in Canada. Which is NOT a popular point-of-view at SDA.

Cheers

        That comment does look more like a copypasta-troll:

        OMG - that commenter isn&apos;t kidding.  I thought (hoped) it was a comment in jest.  

We already have many representatives of that form of smarmy, self-righteous bastid here in the Seattle area - both at the state and county level.  They want us out of our cars and in public transportation, and make almost no attempt to hide the attitude at all.
