The steering wheel in that Civic allows you to drive all over the roads and
pastures too, i believe you'll want to have all steering wheels outlawed from
cars. The gas pedal makes it go above the speed limit too, it should also not
be put into cars. Come to think of it, gasoline was originally a cleaning fluid,
shouldn't buring it in a car be illegal? Just because the steering wheel, gas
pedal, and gasoline do all these things, they should be eliminated for the
same reson have personal loss of self control in using goto?

Case is just another goto in disguise, like exit().
