What, you're not allowed to pump your own gas in Oregon? Really? Is it because the government thinks the average person cannot handle the intricacies of operating a gas pump? If so, then why do they allow people to drive a car, which is *much* more complicated? Hell, there are *tons* of people who shouldn't even be behind the wheel of a car.

Do you have to get a license, take a government-required class or get a special certification that says you are a qualified gas-pumping technician? Are you required to have special insurance to be a gas-pumper-dude?

Seriously, the mental process the legislature must have had to mandate such a stupid thing is ridiculous. OMFG.

"You're not smart enough to pump your own gas, but we'll give any moron a license to operate a 2000 pound machine at speeds up to 65 miles per hour."

Un-fucking-believable.

This is a microcosm of the problem of government.
