This is how flaccid minded  we have become in the United States of America.  We would brake the law for our own feeble attitudes.  This is not at all a mature way of life.

This is why I believe that we are in an economic nose dive.  We cannot simply grow up.  We cry over just about anything and everything, but we do not want to take  responsibilities for our own actions.  We cry for more freedoms, but we cannot contend with what we have in our own circumstances.  We must change, and rapidly if we are to turn things for the better.

The driving laws are too simple to be ignored or have blatant excuses as shown in this article.  Put your own self in police officers shoes.  They see endless and senseless death on the road far too much.  The simplest crashes, if there are such a thing, are caused by all sorts of multi-activities, like use of cell phones, texting, eating, etc.  By using full concentration on the road, it can reduce nearly all car wrecks on the road.

Why are we frantically moving about to get to where ever we are going in life?  Ever heard of leaving early?  There is no crime in getting to your destination early.  Actually, it is the most responsible thing to do in life.  The question that might need to be asked is why do we not act more responsible in our lives?

I wonder if teenagers need to be in a position where they are totally submissive towards another?  I am not talking about slavery, but being fully submissive for let’s say 3-5 years of their lives.  When adults are in a career job, they have to do as they are told, or they will be on the street faster then they can say “oops.”  Discipline in life is everywhere and very, very important.  There is a big difference in freedom and right out chaos.

Authority without freedom is tyranny.  Freedom without authority is chaos.  Authority and freedom can only produce Liberty.  That word is in the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America.

 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

As you can see, not once is the word free or freedom mentioned. There is no freedom without some form or authority.  Military victory is a form or authority.  The police officer is another.  Without the police on the beat, what protection do we have?  If we all cooperate with law officials, then the time we spend after being pulled over could be shorten dramatically.

What we have here in this article is complete and total non-American ways of living.  There is no excuse for this type of behavior from any American citizen.  Just the same, we constantly show our childish behavior that only causes more strive.  When we use the MISS (Make It Simple Stupid) and KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), we can got a lot more done in our personal lives.
