Randomness FTL(W)

It's no secret that, when you are put into a situation to run a red light, you are inclined (if not compelled) to do so. Did it just turn yellow? Run it. Did it turn yellow five seconds ago? Run it. Did the car in front of you run the light? Well, so can you!

It's weird, this train of thought, and luckily -- oh so luckily! -- I've yet to be in an accident because of it or be stopped by the fuzz. But there's something that even this "compulsive desire" does not allow me understand. After you've tried to "stick it to the man", why then must one continually accelerate, zigzag, and pass every vehicle on the road whenever possible?

Am I missing something?

Is the ability to safely navigate slow moving cars at fifty miles per hour an inherent gift to those that lack the capacity to merge on a freeway WITHOUT BACKING UP TRAFFIC? For many people, why yes, yes it is. But I'm slowly beginning to see why people say the drivers here are terrible. But then again, maybe I'm apart of the problem. :(

Test

This is something I really need to do.
