Random musings while driving down the road the other day...
You know that first, visceral thought that goes through your head when you see someone pulled over on the side of the freeway for speeding...?
- Social Conservative: Good for him (the police officer).
- Social Libertarian: Poor bastard (the speeder). Wasn't hurting anybody.
- Social Liberal: Depends. If he's rich, he had it coming. Lawyers assumed to be involved eventually to beat the system. If he's poor, it's just the man trying to keep the people down. Profiling assumed to be involved, and it's the system doing the beating.
For those who think that's an oversimplification, see the title of this post.
