Shame, for many, is a great motivator. For some, it has no effect at all – just look all of the scandal-plagued politicians who still rail about the breakdown of family values in society. Actually, don’t look at them as it only encourages them. One place where THE MAN is using shame to keep the rest of us down is through the use of radar-equipped speed signs on the side of the road, where everybody can see how fast you’re going! I happen to pass three of these signs on a regular basis, and I can tell you that I far prefer passing them on the weekends when they seem to be turned off than Monday – Friday when they tattle on my 35 in a 30 zone. Look, I don’t advocate reckless driving or unnecessary speeding, but geez-louise, a couple over the limit isn’t going to kill anyone. Well, maybe not. Have you run into these electronic tattle-tellers where you live? Do they affect your pace at all? Do you have no shame whatsoever? What’s your take on everybody knowing you business when it comes to how fast you might be driving? Image: SteamBoatToday
