Blue lights flashing down a long dirt road
Dec. 7th, 2004 04:47 amEvery once in a while. Like when some stupid asshole driving in a manner so as to endanger himself or others squeezes between you and the car six feet ahead of you going ninety miles an hour, and then ten miles down the road you see that car pulled over on the side of the road with a motorcop behind him. Every once in a while, you think maybe there is some justice in the world.

Justice. *phegh*
But I will grant that the traffic scenario you posed was a gratifying one.

I suppose, if you backed me against a wall and made me choose, I'd have to assert that justice is preferable to free-range spite. Bleah. And, I'll happily admit that assholes on the road, pulled over to chat with nice police officers, generally make me a bit more cheery, when I get to see them.
