The Patriot Act passed easily into law. All measures which infringe upon our liberty will be efficient. The removal of the split sleeper berth provision from HOS rules represents a greater loss of human rights than does the Patriot Act. The move was made without public input.

Fundamentally, the removal of the split sleeper berth provision is an unspoken government directive which may be interpreted, "We will tell you when to sleep and why." A populace that can be counted upon to comply with the provisions of such a directive will certainly provide further opportunities for a government to restrict civil liberties. Every time the government takes another step, and the rules are less reasonable, should we respond by becoming more compliant? The enslavement of a populace by any regime need not be a conspiracy. It is essentially a spiritual matter. The only thing necessary for the spirit to envelop us is for good men to do nothing.

The mandatory eight hour block of sleep...the EOBR... We truckers are one step away from having a law enforcement officer know, to the second, when we park our trucks and when we move them. We are two steps away from being being picked off at will and being fined, placed out of service, or perhaps arrested, for unlawfully choosing when to sleep and when to drive.

Every time the government takes another step, it will be done quickly and efficiently. Eventually, if good men do not interfere, Americans will have our global positions tightly monitored, pinned down to the second and to within a meter, by state of the art surveillance technology. This will happen in increments, each in the name of safety, or in the name of safeguarding our freedom. The preceding is not far fetched. If the EOBR becomes a mandated part of HOS enforcement, it is only a little farther down the road for the rest of America.

Not being able to adapt to new regulations is not enslavement. It is laziness. If everyone were incapable of adapting, you might possibly have a valid point.

 

I prefer to have the world adapt to me
