Ideas for getting around
When In Doubt, Be Aggressive
Are you too passive in your daily decision making? Learn to be aggressive, in a good way. Each day we are faced with numerous decisions. Indecision is just as bad or worse than making the wrong decision. Often times the right path may not be very clear to us. In these types of situations, error on the aggressive side.

Columbus Road Construction: WTF

Race = Racism. Can’t We All Just Be Humans?
There is only one race: The Human Race. Classifying humans based on skin color is the exact opposite of what Martin Luther King, Jr envisioned when he famously advocated for equality & civil rights. In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, King envisioned a color-blind society, where people would not be "judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." #butfreedom
Speeding… Something Done by People Who Are Bad at Math!
Speeding in your vehicle is a terribly illogical mathematical decision, and it unnecessarily puts your life and the lives of others at risk. SLOW DOWN! Here's an easy way to see exactly how widespread the problem is. Get in your car. Get on the highway. Set your cruise control to the exact speed limit. Observe how many vehicles are passing you. (On a side note, you'll probably also observe a lot of people who are visibly upset that you are not driving fast enough!) What you'll find is that NEARLY EVERY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY IS PASSING YOU AKA SPEEDING!
Manned Moon Landing Hoax
My main skepticism of a successful moon landing comes from simply looking at the dates. We're supposed to believe that in 8 years, using 1960s technology, NASA designed and developed, from scratch, the 3 most advanced devices of all time (Saturn V Rocket, Space Suit, Lunar Module), and successfully landed men on the moon 6 times in 3 years.
