This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"Cars are freedom! *
Except for the monthly finance payment, the legal obligation to insurance companies, the dependance on oil companies, etc"
Don't forget the fact that you can be randomly stopped and forced to provide documentation that you're legally required to carry in order to operate the machine... Unlike a bike, which you can just ride wherever.
Oh... And yeah, and most bikes don't have computers in them that can tell on you to the cops if asked.
But yeah... Freedom.
I mean I think in my state you still have to have iD for some reason while biking, also it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk, which everyone still does but if a cop forgot his donut that day he's got a reason to hassle you
And don't forget all of the other cars making it harder for you to get where you want to go, whether you're in one or not.
