True civic mindedness

You want to be a good citizen? Obey the fucking traffic laws. They're not complicated: red, stop; green go. The whole thing hangs on following these simple goddamn rules; if we don't, there's enormous pain, misery, and very quickly, total chaos. And traffic laws are so fair, they apply to everyone, equally. No one is injured by waiting to stop at a red light. And still asshole upon asshole insists on running the lights.

And when you honk at him, preying he'll avoid killing you with his car, he flips you the bird.

You want to be civic minded? Let the car desperately trying to enter your lane in. Wait for the pedestrian to pass. And, if you happen to be the pedestrian, don't linger in the road against the light. Come the fuck on, people. If you're a biker, I know it's tough out there with the cars. But I gotta tell you, you're not helping things by running stop signs. You think I want the fucking headache of running your dreaded ass over? Jesus.

You want to be civic minded? Don't take a year to order your ridiculous coffee drink. Don't eat popcorn right behind my fucking ear during the movie. The civil and the civic is what surrounds you. Be good to yourself. Put down that fucking newspaper and go fuck your spouse.
