It's here. We're finally starting to see the electronic big brother control grid of the technocrats' wildest dreams being rolled out. Because the gas tax is no longer viable, you know, what with all the fuel-efficient hybrids and electric cars on the roads out there. Now the only possible solution the system and its minions can apparently come up with is to track us all everywhere we go and tax us for each and every mile we drive.

Classic problem — reaction — solution.
