Look, guys, I'm trying real hard to see how rugged individualism can make America's second most crowded PUBLIC HIGHWAY down the street from me work better than stoplights, traffic laws, fines and jail time.

So, please bear with me while I go through this period of lack of imagination!

You gotta' remember, we got commies, democrats and pederasts using that road and they think they don't have to be nice to anybody, so that part's out of the equation (unless, of course, your're a pederast, and none of you guys do that do you, hunh?)

seems to me your imagination is running overboard. you've bought the lie that half the population is a bunch of cop killing, drug selling, law hating nut jobs (oh, and terrorist!). i dissagree. London recently cured a downtown traffic congestion problem by taking out the stop signs and lights on the busiest intersections.... guess what happened? it worked. traffic moved along better... people became more courtious to other drivers - knowing that was the key in making it work.

Americans are not the evil lawbreaking creeps you think they are. and more laws only EFFECT those who obey them. law breakers are lawbreakers... it doesn't make a hoot how many laws they pass to stop criminals - as they are the ones who don't obey them. it's common sense. more laws and more of a police state make honest law abiding citizens have less and less respect for their lawmakers and the enforcers. is that what you want?

i'll give you an example - in SD you must have a permit to carry a concealed weapon. i refuse to let the state have information on the guns i want to own,(because i no longer trust them and i believe they will use this information in the future to confiscate them as they did in NY)so i have no permit to carry. so i do not carry a weapon off my own property(ie i do not break the law). as a small built woman and law abiding citizen, i believe the State has INFRINGED on my RIGHT to keep and BEAR arms by this "permit" law, and thus protect myself and family. the very bad people that i want to protect myself against (rapist, murderers, kidnappers, muggers etc) have NO respect for the LAW (obviously - because all those things are already against the law) so they DO carry guns if they feel like it without a permit. so who does this law infringe upon? it always and ONLY infringes on the law abiding citizen. that's common sense.

since when was it the gvt's job to solve the problem of people not being being "nice"? maybe part of the reason people are no longer so "nice" is because they are sick and tired of worrying if they just spit on the sidwalk they might get hauled into court.

the key to driving safely is taught in drivers ed or by any half smart parent - defensive driving. sounds to me like you need to stop being so afraid of every little percieved boogey man and stop helping the law makers to take advantage of this "fear" (that they have created and feed to the public) to pass even more laws. it's ridiculous...
