Using my turn signal is Socialism. So I'm refusing on to use it on moral grounds.
I'm doing my part to stop the insidious creep of a decadent political system. Besides, I know where I'm going. WTF does it matter to you? Get your own travel route!

Laughed my ass off - Socialism is all around us:

3. Maybe in some states.
Here in IN it seems like people don't know how to drive at all. They just get behind the wheel and what happens, happens.

4. Only if you turn left. Of course, you can be a pretend capitalist by signaling a right turn
then making a uturn and going back where you just came from. That's the Republican way.

7. I think I remember hearing about some rightwinger who refused to make any lefthand turns....
The memory is so vague, though, that I might just be making shit up.

12. It was J. Edgar Hoover -
he refused to let his driver make any left turns.

Not out of any political conviction, though; he just thought they were unsafe.

So, the driver had to make three right turns while J. Edgar was slipping into his red sequined sheath and spike heels in the back seat...............

9. Turning left is so much harder than turning right.
Why?

10. hey, I think I was behind you yesterday.
Surprising how many newer cars have no turn signals. Lucky for me I attended all
my mindreading classes.
