I am so tired of rules. You know that old song "signs" that cheesy ass, old hippy tune? You don't? (actually, I know that you do camarillobrillo as you are a big music fan, but this is more for the less musically inclined) Well then, let me play it for you:

Well, I think this song is not just about property rights. I think it's about needing a permit to do just about anything these days. I was having a discussion with my father and some friends tonight about how cool it would be to invest in buying food trucks and rent them to aspiring chefs/restauranteurs. But from a regulatory standpoint, each city/county/state is different in what those trucks may require.

Hell, I'm of the thought that you should be able to have a taco truck in Nebraska and be able to drive it to Maine and sell tacos all along the way, unencumbered.

Let the market decide is something that many liberals snide at, but is it not just another way of disagreeing with "do this, don't do that, can't you read the siiiiigns?"
