I like to irritate you guys, as you know. And yeah, I'm more of a liberal thinker. At least, I'm more of a "freedom and liberty" thinker. We probably have more common ground than you'd believe. My town has installed those cameras at virtually EVERY SINGLE TRAFFIC SIGNAL in the city. I've got a HUGE problem with that. Wish I had the time to take that on. I may do that anyway. Yeah, like I've got all this time on my hands. Today started at 4:00, and it'll be at least nine by the time I get home. Still.....a guy's got to have some recreation, eh? I have been a government worker, and I know about public disclosure.
The part that pisses me off is the commercial part. Here, we have a glaring instance of commerce being placed ahead of public welfare. Very common in the private sector, and the basis of ALL regulation. I personally believe these cameras erode motoring safety. And I'd bet the evidence suggesting otherwise is thin thin thin.
But at the end of the day, if I decide to have my fun, it will not be my judgment that will be relevant. It will be the citizens of the City. You see, I'm pretty confident that if the story is told to the citizens, the decision gets reversed. And that, my friends, is a big part of why I believe in government. If you fool people, then the wrong thing can happen. Like that guy in the White House. But if the cards are truly layed on the table......the government is ours. It is. It is ours. Ours.
