I saw a story on the news about people who cross train tracks while the lights are flashing, or the gates are down. The story went on to say that many people end up getting hit by the trains and killed because they’re not heeding the warning signs. One suburb had police watching and issuing $250 tickets to those that crossed against the warnings. It seemed to work. They posted a sign warning people about the ticket and people heeded the sign and waited till it was clear to cross.
The point is that people were more afraid to get ticketed than mutilated and killed by a train. My question is do we really want to put out any extra expense in saving morons who of their own free will want to challenge a train? I don’t know about you but I don’t. If you’re that stupid I don’t want you out free to also vote, drink, and drive a car. As far as I”’m concerned it’s natural selection to cull the herd of the stupid. Let “em go!
