so? i get a fine when I drive 2 miles too fast then the speedlimit.. its not horrible but should we just let it go?.. and besides.. if you go jaywalking when you see that cop car like that then you a clearly provoking it..

protecting us from ourselves is not the role of government. protection from government is the role of government.

That would be the ideal, unfortunately people seem to being moving in the direction of having NO common sense.
So where common sense dictates that Jay walking could put you at a higher risk of getting run over when compared to crossing at the pedestrian lights, peoples lack of common sense instead makes them jay walk, this has lead to laws being put in place to protect people from themselves.
To be honest, it's a sad state of affairs cause we seem to be heading in the direction of the movie Idiocracy

it is sad isn't it...
you must know why we're getting stupid, it from over protection. Govt. taking on every role including parent and teacher. If you watch politicians you know Govt. doesn't do anything successfully. So why do we give it these roles. The Dept. of Education was started in 1980. Government education is full of fail. I love idiocracy btw awesome movie!!

-Lets put it this way, it's easier for the wealthy government leaders to rule over dumb people than it is to rule over boisterous inteligent people who question everything. Don't get me wrong their is still plenty of inteligent people, afterall their required to maintain the current systems and technologies, but the populus ingeneral is losing IQ points. I mean our current reality TV shows are not far off from 'ow my balls', our language is degrading we may soon find that you will be called 'gay' just for being able to speak formaly, and we are getting ever closer to barcodes tattooed for currency payments, visa paywave leading the charge, it's the next logical step right? XD
Idiocracy seems to be an inevitability at this stage...well not unless there is a reset of some sort...though I honestly don't see that happening.
-Yep awesome indeed, it's why I referenced it XD
Also, V for vendetta is a good one, especially when it comes to a dictatorship masquerading as Democracy and the use of nanny cam a.k.a NSA XD
