Mercy and the Law [Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος]

An observation: The laws of physics are less forgiving than God is.

A corollary: Tailgaters need to be reminded of this.

She established the laws of physics. Who says they're not representative of her personality (at least, in part)?

*Snerk!* Good one!

Or perhaps they were established to show how bad things would be if she *were* as strict and unforgiving as they. Hmm. :)

With nucyuler missals perhaps? ;)

There's a reason there's a distinction between justice and mercy. God may show mercy; physics, based on laws, only knows justice.

I was hoping someone would bring in the justice/mercy phrasing after I decided to leave it out of the entry itself. Thank you.

I want a bumpersticker for my back bumper that says "I Brake for Tailgaters".

Unfortunately, I also want one for the front that says "Move or Be Pushed" in backwards ambulance lettering.

Heh, I'm reminded somewhat of this E2 node on the subject!

(NB: The last write-up in that node is probably the most important one, sadly)

An entry some years ago in the Nashville Scene's annual You are so Nashville if... contest: You are so Nashville if you have a bumper sticker reading "God is my copilot" instead of taking driving lessons. (The link is to a later version of the contest. Still fun to read.)

The laws of physics don't forgive, and neither do the police, generally. Get a license number? I'd advise you to do the merciful thing and register a complaint if possible, to get the dangerous asshole off the road before s/he winds up killing someone.

If I could read their plates, it wouldn't be as big a problem :/

Actually, the police a) pretty much won't do squat in response to something they didn't observe themselves (except for sending someone to keep an eye out for a reported drunk driver) unless it results in a collision, and b) don't seem to give a damn stopping tailgating. (They'll use it as an excuse for a nuisance stop, and they'll tack it onto whatever other charges after an accident, but they won't pull anyone over for it. *grrrrrr*)

Mercy should be tempered with Justice...
