I think the Flouride in the water is doing its thing...  Almost every time I go out, I come up on a car - or an SmooVee - that's doing either just barely the limit and often several MPH below it. The typical offender also likes to slow down and speed up for no apparent reason; the concept of maintaining a flow is beyond them. They'll wand...
I trace the whole weird syndrome we live with today - of cops being ridiculously polite and solicitous toward violent thugs and real criminals while often acting brutally toward ordinary citizens who commit minor infractions such as "speeding" or "talking back" - to the 1991 Rodney King Incident. King was a violent thug who not only led cops o...
It's not just a job; you're part of "the team." The implication being, these are your comrades; you're part of a group and owe loyalty to the "team." Which is lumpy, corn-encrusted bullshit of the worst sort. People at work may be your colleagues, or your boss, or the people you supervise. They are not your "team." This loathsom...

Life in the Slow Lane....

I think the Flouride in the water is doing its thing...  Almost every time I go out, I come up on a car - or an SmooVee - that's doing either just barely the limit and often several MPH below it. The typical offender also likes to slow down and speed up for no apparent reason; the concept of maintaining a flow is beyond them. They'll wander across the double yellow - and not just in the curves. Then jerk the wheel to recover their lane.  And of course the limit itself is already ridiculous. On most roads, it is well below what a competent, alert driver can safely handle.
