 "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" doesn't it?

  I was observing the results of the "No Frames law" on Texas license
  plates, passed recently.

  Some folks protested this law as a violation of 'freedom of
  expression."

  Perhaps it is yet the frames proved to make the numbers harder to
  read. I've noticed this. Without the frames the numbers do stand out
  more. The frames defeated the purpose of having the numbers there in
  the first place.

  Some laws, even those which may infringe our  our freedom a bit,
  have to be made to protect us from infringement by others upon far more
  important rights. Remember this the next time you need to 'get the
  license number on the car that just side swipe you (causing
  hundreds of dollar of damage you don't want to have to pay for.)
