On Its Head

One of my guiding philosophies is to turn things on their head, so I probably should have done the same in considering the Red Light Camera issue (see below). Today I witnessed two people that were fully stopped at red lights make their own determination that it was safe to proceed. You see, the lights were a bit long for their taste and they had gotten somewhat tired of waiting. So, they hit the gas and hightailed it through the intersection. Good show, guys! My mistake in the earlier blog post was not insisting on MORE red light cameras and vans in the city. It shouldn't be a question or a vote on whether to retain the existing cameras or squelch them. What we should be debating is . . . where to put the new ones.
