[Vision2020] MPD Press Release

[Donovan Arnold]

If they want everyone to be safe they should make everyone drive a SUV, Hummer, or Abrams Tank. Nobody would get run over and everyone would be safe. :)
 
We could rip out all the stop signs, stop lights, speed limits, and sidewalks too, as they would no longer be needed if everyone drove those. Just think of the money we would save. Potholes would no longer be a bother either.
 
It could be the Government Mandated Automobile Buy Economic Stimulus Plan. 
It would be like mandating automobile insurance, but the automobile instead of the insurance. If you could not afford a SUV, the taxpayer would buy your poor ass family a brand new one. If you are rich according to the government, like making over 400% poverty level, you would be forced to buy a SUV, whatever the cost might be.
