As far as people in this country not getting it. I think that applies to more than just the park lights. I have spent quite a bit of time in Germany and other Northern/Western European countries with my work and whenever I have to come back home, I experience a bit of dread at having to put up with most of the drivers in this country. Yes the Germans drive fast on the autobahn, but they are courteous. If they see you approaching from behind, they simply move over and let you by. Here I have had more people cut me off as if they are trying to control my speed than I can count. Also I have noticed that most western european drivers are very orderly about how they drive. In this country, drivers are just too unpredictable to be safe. I think we should convert all the interstate highways into autobahn type roads and let Darwinism take care of itself.....Safer roads in the long run and population control.....
