re: #976 Afrocity

Did you hear about Oregon? They want all drivers to have GPS in their vehicles:

BOSTON (AP) - Governor Deval Patrick’s idea to use GPS chips in vehicles to charge people for the miles they drive is being blasted as “Orwellian” by some opponents.

I don’t drive so not sure of the implications but my friend in Oregon is pretty pissed.

I’m not interested. What are they going to do, offer coupons for a GPS unit from the feds? That really worked out well with the analog/digital TV convertors.
