You think not? The risk of being detected in a criminal act with a jail term attached? The personal
risk of unscheduled detonation?
I would consider bombing a camera as a pretty desperate act - the last refuge of someone who has
tried everything else possible apart from not actually breaking the law, which would of course be an
unconscionable restrction on individual liberty...

Yes - the thing is, I think it's been like that for a while, you just don't notice until you
stop doing it. Then you get back in the car and realise that driving is really pretty unpleasant
these days.

Of course, but this is a credible conclusion. Most responsible drivers, after being caught once or
twice, would get the message. Thiose who continue to offend are clearly more dedicated to their
own selfish ends than to "fitting in" with what society expects and demands of them. So it seems
to me, anyway.

If it had been a woman she'd have knifed it ;-)

I supported direct action in the case of the Poll Tax, because that was a good way to get the law
repealed. Speed limits are not unjust, to my mind, so don't justify such action. But I could
respect somoene who decided to go to jail rather than pay. Blowing up [robot] policemen is a
different kind of act.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.
