Highway Politics

I suppose U.S. politics is a lot like highway driving.

Most people are content to travel within a small buffer around the speed limit, and they pretty much occupy the center lanes.

Some people move way too slowly (in my opinion, obviously) , and end up to the far right. Most of them are moving forward...true...but who can tell?

Other's want to jump ahead and get going already! They (e.g. I) drive in the left lane.

And in U.S. politics, as in highway driving, I don't care if you want to stay in the right lane, moving backwards as far as I can tell...but stay out of my way and let me move forward. If you don't like the left lane, keep right! Don't try to make all of us drive in your lane. The highway accommodates everyone.

Lessons from the Fast Lane

I always wonder why there are people who get in the fast lane and drive exactly the speed limit - or slower. What is the point of that? Are they trying to teach us speed demons a lesson? Isn't slower traffic supposed to stay to the right, so that the rest of us can pass on the left?

Or should I just take a deep breath and slow down? Hrm...
