Just a constant, life-long, activist do-gooder who can't resist taking on another area of activity where I know I can have an impact.

Problems with the Minneapolis towing and impound lot system have made me suffer, so I know my suffering must be magnified by all the other folks experiencing the same problem; in this case inefficient and archaic towing and impound lot systems that slow down society, the economy, and hurt ordinary folks just trying to get by and find a place to park, for crying out loud.

It's not just Minneapolis, but the whole United States and, who knows, maybe Canada.

Yeah, I'm the towing guy. I write about towing and impound lots, and how my personal liberty, my sense of identity is all tangled up in my wheels.

Take my liberty, and I might spend a night in jail with interesting companions. But take my car, and keep it from me for several days in your inefficient, bureaucratic system, and you might be taking my job, my relationships, even my very life. Drastic reform is needed of this arbitrary "car napping" from our public streets.

ENOUGH, ALREADY!
