To quote Mary Shafer, an engineer who used to fly in one of the last SR-71’s in operation,
“Perfect safety is for those who don’t have the balls to live in the real world.”
You have to deal with all manner of hazards on the road. Always have, always will.
The “drug war” has been an expensive failure, both in terms of money and in terms of civil liberties. The number of people who have been killed in their own homes, without cause, by police pretending that they’re taking down a “drug dealer” is now reaching absurd levels.
I’ll deal with the druggies on the road every day if it means that we can fire half the police in the nation and forever prohibit no-knock warrants and SWAT raids on nothing more than drug informant information.
We have a phrase for that up here.
We call it a “safety meeting”.
You see, if nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
Not much gets done, but we’re all “safe”.
At least until we have to go out to our ride home...
(If you can’t see the sarcasm, you’re not worth responding to.)
