[quote=Anonymous]I think that in general we’ve come to accept boorish behavior, but in some places more than others.  We also live in a society that at some point decided that everyone has to accept individual bad behavior, like it’s some
protected free expression.  If I caught a guy crapping in my yard and yelled at him someone would definitely blame me for not leaving my door open for him to use.  I’ve seen people get roasted on listserves because they had the nerve to call out dangerous drivers with a picture and a plate.  You aren’t “allowed” to correct bad behavior.

Of course, places like MOCO work overtime at enabling this by doing things like passing laws that prevent you from pulling people over for bad or expired tags, safety lights out, throwing trash out the window, etc. No one cares of you are smoking weed while you driving. No one does anything about noise or fireworks or loitering. If you live in a society that goes one of its way to accept bad behavior, expect more of it.[/quote]
