Aw shux, Paul, I tend to agree with this summary. I thought it was a
pretty decent thumbnail.......if more drivers tried to achieve just
this, it would sure make traffic move better and more safely ! (And
not necessarily slower...)
And Paul - I can understand your defending NH police - especially if
they post emails in the station house with the legend "target for today"
underneath..... nudge, nudge, wink, wink........

(Tweeking of list-mates aside....) Most cops are pretty decent people.
They have a real challenge in that they spend days at a time
"staring into the sewer of life". This has a strong tendency to
generate distrust of ones' fellow "persons" (so as to avoid
sexism...) And some of them do become just plain ornery and
contrary, but those folks are rare. Most state trooper
organizations have very high standards of conduct. They're not to
blame for being assigned to enforce asinine laws....they just try to
do their jobs and hopefully exercise some judgement.
Of course, all it takes is one trooper with a bee up his butt to blow
PR efforts out the window and make an enemy for life!
