re: Running red lights

Billy Gibbons used to come into the club all the time ,, 84,85 it was a week night and he was upstairs and the VIP section all alone I was in the DJ booth along with Earl the other DJ
Billy comes and asks for a pen and paper Give it to him months later he comes back into the club and gives us the ZZ Top key chains with a diamond and thanks us for the pen and paper and tells us that he had been inspired to write a couple of songs while he was sitting in the club


That became the Eliminator album. Now I know you don't believe me probably nobody here does ,, doesn't change the facts

interesting thing is years later 2001. In Cleveland on a flight back from DC to Houston Im in the area waiting on the other fight to IAH
talking to a guy and he tells me that he is ZZ Top's manager and I tell him that story he smiles stands up has me go with him to the VIP Club in the airport and has me tell that story to Billy and they laughed because that's how they he was inspired for the Eliminator album and they had never told that story,


But by all means tell me about the Radio Shack you MC'd the grand opening for and a hooters waitress gave u a handy in the parking lot

The 'right' thing is to do no harm.

I have treated isolated stop lights like 4-way stops at times.

The objective of the traffic lights is to control the flow of traffic in the most efficient way with most attention to safety of transit.

If there is zero safety concern, and there is no traffic, then the light serves zero purpose and common sense should prevail. A full stop and due diligence in observing the surroundings is all that could be expected of a free citizen.

I obey God. And His word says to obey the laws of the land unless they are immoral or unethical. If I’m obedient in the small things, I can then learn to handle the large things.

On a 4 way stop light in a residential area, if no one is coming, do you run it?

We need less of these dumb arse threads

A town west of us had their traffic light go down and they put up temporary stop signs, the traffic flowed so much better that they did away with the lights altogether.

If you have drivers that understand how to do it right, this is very true. Month or so back had a flashing red light on my commute two days in row. The first day I rolled up to the back of the line and was like "damn this is gonna suck". The 2nd day I was kind of like "I'll take it".

Government lightbulbs that are improperly programmed such that they steal the time away from obedient citizens under the penalty of financial theft enforced by armed agents if citizens disobey the lightbulbs - I call that an immoral and unethical legal situation. It's a small thing that conditions the populace to accept immoral and unethical big things, like covid shutdowns and forced vaccinations to use an example from recent history.

Why would anyone run a red light?

Because half the signals are useless and should come down.

No other cars on the road, I'm treating it like a four way stop sign and proceeding on my way after a five count.

You need to seek professional advice. You obviously have a hard on for my posts. Is posting on this site your entire life? It’s pretty sad, actually. You really need to get a life. I feel sorry for you

Yes.

Absolutely no cars around, there is nothing unsafe about going.
