Here is an exercise in practical subversion. I work for a large corporation that has a strict safety policy. (That's good.) One of the intersections on the main campus is very dangerous. Many accidents. (Tlhat's bad.) We're supposed to report unsafe conditions, and many people have reported this intersection and suggested a 4-way instead of a 2-way stop. For some reason, it doesn't change, (presumably some influential planner designed the traffic flow and doesn't want the cherished plan to change); so instead the company  changed the safety reporting rules to "you may only report what you can fix yourself." Under that new rule, I can't report the intersection, because campus safety has to fix it. So I purchased a stop sign on eBay, reported the intersection and SENT the stop sign to campus safety. Reported the safety hazard and fixed it myself. USE THE RULES TO DO THE RIGHT THING. {GM - Bone Lace} 8:12:01 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Signs of Intelligence: Government Information Awareness Turns the Tables.
