Outside places like this at any rate. And we don't care either, other than for the purpose of scoring points. Perspective: We had no problem voting for a man who has decided on his OWN that as President he has the power to KILL, without trial or even congressional or judicial review, in secret, any American citizen he wants, wherever he likes, whenever he likes, for any reason he sees fit, in secret, and if you don't like it too damn bad. He'll even target and execute their underage children.

And we voted for him. Twice.

So with all respect, spare me the hand wringing self-righteous hysteria over "aggressive traffic studies." It sounds contrived and ridiculous because it is.
