[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The soft bigotry of low expectations.[/quote]

The more I think about this, the more I realize that I'm sick of the soft bigotry of low expectations on Maryland and Virginia drivers driving in the district.  We need to start strictly enforcing the existing DC law requiring suspension of driver's licenses for minor moving or parking violations unpaid for 30 days.  We all know speeding and parking illegally are dangerous and against the law.  We should expect, even demand serious consequences for lawbreakers.  All the people clamoring to teach these kids a lesson should join me in demanding strict enforcement of this law, right?  If people lose their jobs as a result, well... they should have known better.  Right?

We must set expectations that will encourage those people to be their best selves as drivers.  We owe it to those poor unfortunates.  We need red light cameras at every intersection, speed limit cameras on every road, and driver's license suspension for all violations after 30 days.  How can we let these drivers down by letting them keep driving without even basic competency to drive within the law?   [/quote]
