Allow me to set a scenario: You're driving down a 2 lane street (one lane each direction). The speed limit is 25 MPH. There is no on-coming traffic, but there is a cop car rapidly approaching from behind, lights and sirens. Do you get as far over as you can and stop or slow down to 10 MPH so that you're still moving as the cop to passes you?

Yesterday, outside my workplace, 3 drivers within 100 yards of each other chose the latter. Apparently, it was so important that all 3 get to their destination ASAP that they could be bothered to stop for the cop responding to a call.

 The social disruption that we see today is certainly not the
   result of mere chance. It can only be a result fo the conditions of
   life that the system imposes on people. (We have argued that the most
   important of these conditions is disruption of the power process.) If
   the systems succeeds in imposing sufficient control over human
   behavior to assure itw own survival, a new watershed in human history
   will have passed. Whereas formerly the limits of human endurance have
   imposed limits on the development of societies (as we explained in
   paragraphs 143, 144), industrial-technological society will be able to
   pass those limits by modifying human beings, whether by psychological
   methods or biological methods or both. In the future, social systems
   will not be adjusted to suit the needs of human beings. Instead, human
   being will be adjusted to suit the needs of the system.
  
   [27] 152. Generally speaking, technological control over human
   behavior will probably not be introduced with a totalitarian intention
   or even through a conscious desire to restrict human freedom. [28]
   Each new step in the assertion of control over the human mind will be
   taken as a rational response to a problem that faces society, such as
   curing alcoholism, reducing the crime rate or inducing young people to
   study science and engineering. In many cases, there will be
   humanitarian justification. For example, when a psychiatrist
   prescribes an anti-depressant for a depressed patient, he is clearly
   doing that individual a favor. It would be inhumane to withhold the
   drug from someone who needs it. When parents send their children to
   Sylvan Learning Centers to have them manipulated into becoming
   enthusiastic about their studies, they do so from concern for their
   children's welfare. It may be that some of these parents wish that one
   didn't have to have specialized training to get a job and that their
   kid didn't have to be brainwashed into becoming a computer nerd. But
   what can they do? They can't change society, and their child may be
   unemployable if he doesn't have certain skills. So they send him to
   Sylvan.
  
   153. Thus control over human behavior will be introduced not by a
   calculated decision of the authorities but through a process of social
   evolution (RAPID evolution, however). The process will be impossible
   to resist, because each advance, considered by itself, will appear to
   be beneficial, or at least the evil involved in making the advance
   will appear to be beneficial, or at least the evil involved in making
   the advance will seem to be less than that which would result from not
   making it (see paragraph 127). Propaganda for example is used for many
   good purposes, such as discouraging child abuse or race hatred. [14]
   Sex education is obviously useful, yet the effect of sex education (to
   the extent that it is successful) is to take the shaping of sexual
   attitudes away from the family and put it into the hands of the state
   as represented by the public school system.
  
   154. Suppose a biological trait is discovered that increases the
   likelihood that a child will grow up to be a criminal and suppose some
   sort of gene therapy can remove this trait. [29] Of course most
   parents whose children possess the trait will have them undergo the
   therapy. It would be inhumane to do otherwise, since the child would
   probably have a miserable life if he grew up to be a criminal. But
   many or most primitive societies have a low crime rate in comparison
   with that of our society, even though they have neither high-tech
   methods of child-rearing nor harsh systems of punishment. Since there
   is no reason to suppose that more modern men than primitive men have
   innate predatory tendencies, the high crime rate of our society must
   be due to the pressures that modern conditions put on people, to which
   many cannot or will not adjust. Thus a treatment designed to remove
   potential criminal tendencies is at least in part a way of
   re-engineering people so that they suit the requirements of the
   system.

 As I was running this morning, a white Honda SUV entered a parking lot through a driveway while I was still in it, and hit my arm. Taking a bit of stock, I found myself uninjured, so I kept running.

The gentleman stopped his car, sped out of the parking lot drove the wrong way down the street to find me still running, where he stopped his car next to me. I stopped running (more out of fright than anything).

He said, "You hit my car."

With a bit of incredulity, I said "I hit your car?" I found it unusual that a one-ton SUV would suffer damage at the hand of a 245 lb. jogger.

"Oh yes you did. Don't you ever fucking touch my car."

"Sir, you hit me driving in!"

He started, "I waited for you --"

"You did not! You drove in!" I said.

"-- you'd ... you'd just better watch it! Don't you lay a fucking hand on my car!"

I started to wise up. "Sir, what's your name?" I read the number off his parking permit. "5144?"

He jumped in the car and drove off. I later returned to the parking lot, where, presumably, he is employed somewhere in the building. I walked around his car, and found a luggage tag showing from out the window:
And the rest I will keep for myself guess who would have gotten the ticket?

How many of you drive FASTER when it snows. Explain why.

 17th & South Streets, Lincoln Friday afternoon July 13.  I was backing an 18 wheeler across 17th to the unloading lift at Sunmart.  The store people tell me someone in an SUV was blowing his horn all the time I was backing across the street. 
To the SUV driver:
1.  I was backing slowly because nobody was stopping traffic for me.  Backing any faster could cause an accident because there are always people that try to make it at the last second.  It's difficult to back much faster when you have to get within 3 to 5 inches of the store wall in order to be square with the lift.
2. That's my job!  What's your hurry?  How many seconds did you lose?
3.  I found out Friday 16th Street is now open across South St.  Now I can go up the alley, but still will have to pull across 17th Street to square up to the lift, but can wait for a break in the traffic.
4.  With the window down I can't hear your wimpy horn with the refrigeration unit running.  If I had, I would have stopped to get a good look at the idiot that was blowing his horn.
5.  I hope your juvenile display made you feel better.  The people in the building across the alley are willing to comfort you and talk to you (the Mental Health Center).

To the Counciltuckian in the teal Chevy Silverado who was weaving, speeding, tailgating, and behaving like an ass on Sorenson Parkway Tuesday evening, please note that your actions are not only heinous in terms of the safety of others, but particularly dangerous to you, since you're doing all this in 'da hood...and that's not your part of town. 

A word to the wise...

This lady was speeding down HYW 75 from Cass county to Sarpy county.  Tailgating, not paying attention. She almost ran in to me and the car in front of me.  IF YOU SEE HER STAY AWAY and CALL 911. Get her off the road 

This Red Dodge Ram that is seen on Superior street at 33rd every morning is a mental unstable driver. I do know his first name is Scott. It comes from Airpark every day so be aware of this dangerous driver.

day before xmas eve at my apartment complex my plates were stolen and had to get new one. Police werent on duty to take my report so I had to drive around with no plates for the entire weekend and finally on Tuesday several days after I reported the incident they finally called to take my report.

They were supposed to get back to me in 36 hours but apartently there was a donut and bagel coffe sale going on during that time.
