I don’t mind people not knowing things. I don’t mind ignorance per se. It’s when people get all uppity without researching it. Adam sent me a youtube video about a woman who believes rainbows formed by sprinklers is a sign that there’s chemicals in our water and ground. When I started bicycling I got shit from a cop car (for riding in the middle lane. I can’t find a post about it, weird) and from cars wanting me on the sidewalk, so I went and checked out the washington bicycle laws to educate myself.
Carl has some magnets in his garage that read “Yellow Card” and say something like “this magnet is affixed to your car because a motorcyclist believed you did something unsafe while driving.” I kind of think I want a pile of RCW 46.61.770 magnets.
Georgetown to the ID bus station was about two honks today. Average is probably 1.5. Earlier this week Ginger made a comment about how people weren’t honking, and within a couple minutes of discussing it someone did. No wood to knock on.
Anyways, what is it that drives people to be so sure of being in the right? I suppose it’s much easier on them to have a huge ego than take responsibility and realize they aren’t the center of the universe, for realz.
