Driving on the right side of the road
LUCKYR: it's the right side of the road in other countries.
Officer: true. Here is a moving violation ticket with a photo as evidence.
GE MORTON: empirical evidence has no applicability to descriptive ethics.
Officer: I'm going to double your fine.
Need I say more.

Re: Driving on the right side of the road
The archaic secludedness, and separateness of the people divided by ethnics, territories, borders, administrative belonging, and races were enabling a skewed vision of what awaits after, or that one should rely on power from above. In the global world, it becomes of not much use, open information makes archaic streams of thought obsolete. That does not mean that harsh measures should be taken to educate people and pull them off unsubstantiated beliefs, of course not, the flow of time will do it on its own. I am not against soft measures. Some can be fearful of human nature not leashed by religion. Come on, do we want to be free-thinking people or ferocious dogs on a leash?
