Somewhat off topic: I always walk to the local sports bar, less than a mile from my house, in order to preclude the possibility of drunken driving. When the light changes, I wait to be sure the cars stop, naturally, but as a further precaution, before I step in front of anyone’s bumper, I try to make eye contact, with the driver, to asses their intentions.
During the height of the Birther controversy, imagine my surprise, just before stepping in front of a plain looking Toyota Camry, I lock eyes with..... ORLY ! She looked like a loon, in my humble opinion ;)
Yes she does, but in her defense she's from Russia, and knows very much what communism looks like, and I suspect she is paralyzed with fear at what she sees as communism following her over to her new country.
Thinking the darkness has followed you and that you HAVE to DO SOMETHING to stop it might result in many of us looking a little nutty.
