(Talking about road violence, particularly that directed against
cyclists)

I think the wild monkeys (those that display primitive behavior, like
aggression) should be put in a cage.

But since they look like humans, they figure the chances of being
caught are slim, particularly since nobody cares about nothing any
more. Some are being caught, but mainly because the police is looking
to i$$ue as many tickets as po$$ible.

If undercover policemen were to ride the roads, then the wild monkeys
would think twice before pushing around people on bikes. I wonder why
a society that puts undercover hookers out there, doesn't care that
much about the cyclists. Yeah, we know prostitution is a sin, but so
is bullying cyclists...

This is leading into religious morality, is it not?

Gibbon:"The Romans all thot religion was true. The philosophers
all thot religion was false. The politicians all knew religion
was useful.

Getting rid of religion dont work. That only creates the kind of
power vacuum that Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and that jackass running
North Korea move into.

Supporting the faith in the Great Mother Goddess works. It creates
problems for demagogues trying to rile up mobs or armie. *He* would
be trying to say that *he* speaks in *HER* name.
