There are some things that should be free. Like walking down a sidewalk or through a park. Walking along the ocean or riding a bike down a road. Or visiting a public library. Sitting in a courtroom and watching justice be done.

There must be a million bicycles in New Hampshire. Think of how much money we can raise there. And don't forget tricycles and baby carriages. They use our streets and sidewalks every day.

“Quite simply they use the same facilities and enjoy the same services as all other boaters, but don’t pay for them,” said Byrnes, a freshman lawmaker and lifelong boater and angler. “The other boaters pay a hefty fee while the canoeists and kayakers pay nothing, but expect the same services. It is a question of being fair.”

When I was small I had a little red fire truck that I rode up and down the sidewalk all day. You know the kind where you pump the pedals and half of the time you end up going backwards. Let's require stickers on them as well.
