Not sure if conformist is the right word. Because there are a lot of
things statists demand that people don't conform to, like the 55mph
interstate speed limit where it still exists. More like anything that
doesn't match the driving ideas of Joan Claybrook and Ralph Nader from
the 1970s that don't seem to die even though what isn't just
personal preference becomes more idiotic as technology advances.
