The real issue in life is choice. If you had a car that could only turn one
way, would you say that it is free? If it ran around crashing into things,
denting its fenders and wasting all its fuel, would you shrug and say,
"That's the automotive nature. That's my car's mode of self-expression"? It
would take you a long time to get anywhere, and where you arrived would not
be up to you.
