Looks like the whole "power to the worker" thing is once again working out really well. Good old Marx!

Not sure why, but communism really hates the working man owning a car.

Freedom of movement.

You can go where you want outside of government plans. That's very bad to those who know what's good for you.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Because cars = more freedom than public transportation. Both in the "travel whenever you want" sense, and also the freedom from having to deal with drunks, druggies, nutcases, criminals and similar.
