A bike path is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.
To not park on a bike path is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To not park on a bike path is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies, in which a person is not able to not park on a bike path. Simultaneously, parking on bike path is not prosecuted. Therefore the bike path presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.
No one will punish you for parking on a bike path, no one will fine you, or kill you for parking on a bike path, you gain nothing not parking on a bike path. You must not park on a bike path out of the goodness of your own heart. You must not park on a bike path because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct. A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.
A bike path is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.
