Driving is a privilege, not a right...especially in Houston
The Houston Chronicle has a story about a new city ordinance taking effect in the "rocket city" come January 1, 2005. If your car breaks down, gets a flat, or otherwise becomes immobile on or along the freeway, you will be automatically towed (and charged U.S. $75) regardless of your wishes in the matter. I wonder how long it will be until a government-sponsored program to buy bullet-resistant vests for tow-truck drivers is announced.

Oh hey, i'm not saying that this is a bad thing for the city of Houston, as from what I hear the traffic there is hellish. I sure Birmingham, and eventually Nashville, will get something similar. I'm still holding my breath for a commuter rail system, though.
Nah. Nashville just needs to pass a Restaurant ordinance - to tow Hatch away after he's over eaten, and becomes immobile.
How did I get drug into this?
