The Day the Music Died?

I understand both sides of this argument. I do. If you watch closely, you'll observe your average moron's walk through the City looks a whole lot like those cartoons where the dog is charged to protect a baby--which, delighted by a passing butterfly or some such critter, promptly totters off to the construction site next door and narrowly misses death at every turn.

Walking in and out of moving traffic while lost in your own musical world is comperab--

Oh my gosh. Where's my camera?

Sorry. I had to stop for a second to look at the dog in a FULL-BODY WARM UP SUIT.

Ahh, this City.

Back to what I was saying.

Thing is, you can pass a zillion laws to protect people from themselves. But somewhere, somehow, idiots are going to find ways to get themselves killed.

Maybe they should make dying illegal. Problem is, people are inevitably going to do it and they can't be fined because they'll already be dead. So it's lose-lose any way you slice it.

You should become a vigilante who runs over people crossing the street with their iPods. That'll show them.

You can't protect people from themselves. This is a country where people are free to be as stupid as they please. Anyway, survival of the fittest, right?
