You act like you should be able to 3D print a car and be allowed to drive it. Let's talk about seatbelts - is this another of those damn regulations????! How about airplane security? I should be allowed to build a helicopter and fly to new york! God damn gubbernment.

On the day any of that is allowed I built my hut and leave society for good.

To me, both of these suggestions don't sound like bad ideas that you make out of them. :-)

EDIT: Yes, I am a hacker.
