   Opening paragraph of an opinion column by John J. Miller in Saturday's   
   WSJ, regarding a proposal to study the implementation of VMT (vehicle-   
   miled traveled) taxes:   
      
     "The lyrics of the 1981 song, 'Red Barchetta' by the Canadian rock band   
   Rush describe  the thrill of racing a vintage roadster in a future when   
   driving is illegal. 'I commit my weekly crime,' sings vocalist Geddy lee,   
   in an era governed by 'the motor law' and policed by a 'gleaming alloy air   
   car.' That dystopian visions seems a faraway fantasy, but motorists in   
   Michigan may think of it when they learn about a state plan to use Global   
   Positioning System devices to track mileage an tax drivers based on road   
   usage."
