Well, I was thinking, if necro was going to pull a "falling down",
then perhaps hector could do one as well. You get yers going
northbound, er, westbound on I26, and I'll get mine going southbound,
er, eastbound on I26, and we'll lay waste to Columbia when we meet in
the middle.

After that rampage, we can trek north/west/whatever on I26 until we
get to the I85 corridor, at which point we'll flip for who gets
charlotte and who gets atlanta.

If we've still got time, we can make inroads into Floriduh. :-)

Sarcasm is my sword
Apathy is my shield

1) The government makes all sorts of idiotic no parking areas just to
collect revenue, much like speed limits. This erodes respect for legimate no
parking areas. Also people begin to think of it as just a tax as well.

2) There is no social correction. A cop or at least an agent of the
property owner has to see it for there to be any consquences to the car's
driver. It's just like these asshats who shoulder pass. They do it and
feel entitled to it because without a cop, there will be no consquences.
Someone will always let the shoulder passer back in and nobody was
willing to block this MFFY parker into the corner.

I suppose if the police actually worked for the people then things might
be different. But they don't work for us and haven't for a long time.
They work for government and government doesn't care if people are
a.sholes to each other. Actually it would prefer that because it is an
excuse for taking power and makes the people weaker. Anyway, the MFFY
parker is unlikely to be ticketed in an area that doesn't represent
enough money for government to waste its manpower on, nobody is going to
offer resistance, there are no social consquences, so he does it.

(the state) "applies itself to loading everybody's brain with prejudices,
and everybody's heart with sentiments favorable to the spirit of disorder,
war, and hatred; so that, when a doctrine of order, peace, and comity
presents itself, it is in vain that it has clearness and truth on its
side; it cannot gain admittance." -Frederic Bastiat

Please, make that "anarchists", to capitalize "Anarchists" suggests
far more organization than is present.

(and I'm not one anyway)

You're looking at the wrong picture. We're discussing

So by now we know that GPSTroll thinks that any behavior is OK as long
as it doesn't violate any laws. Want to park in the middle of the
aisle in a parking lot? No problem - after all, in most states, the
vehicle code does not apply on private property, so feel free to do
whatever you want!

Here's another case where great harm was done but no actual laws were
broken. No doubt GPSTroll fully supports what this woman did. And,
since it's pretty likely that GPSTroll has children of his own (his
previous nym was MidnightDad), it would be true poetic justice if some
similar *legal* fate befalls one of HIS kids.

A Hoax Turned Fatal Draws Anger but No Charges

By CHRISTOPHER MAAG
Published: November 28, 2007

DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo., Nov. 21 — Megan Meier died believing that
somewhere in this world lived a boy named Josh Evans who hated her. He
was 16, owned a pet snake, and she thought he was the cutest boyfriend
she ever had.

Josh contacted Megan through her page on MySpace.com, the social
networking Web site, said Megan’s mother, Tina Meier. They flirted for
weeks, but only online — Josh said his family had no phone. On Oct.
15, 2006, Josh suddenly turned mean. He called Megan names, and later
they traded insults for an hour.

The next day, in his final message, said Megan’s father, Ron Meier,
Josh wrote, “The world would be a better place without you.”

Sobbing, Megan ran into her bedroom closet. Her mother found her
there, hanging from a belt. She was 13.

Six weeks after Megan’s death, her parents learned that Josh Evans
never existed. He was an online character created by Lori Drew, then
47, who lived four houses down the street in this rapidly growing
community 35 miles northwest of St. Louis.

That an adult would plot such a cruel hoax against a 13-year-old girl
has drawn outraged phone calls, e-mail messages and blog posts from
around the world. Many people expressed anger because St. Charles
County officials did not charge Ms. Drew with a crime.

But a St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Lt. Craig
McGuire, said that what Ms. Drew did “might’ve been rude, it might’ve
been immature, but it wasn’t illegal.”

[...]

Has GPSTroll nymshifted again?

The premise of it being "wrong" due to a violation of rule or law was
forwarded by another.  After that point the question of which law was
being violated was raised... but has not yet been answered by the
person who forwarded it.

The question has met with some ridiculous extrapolations regarding the
senses of "right or wrong" of the enquirers, but those who have so
extrapolated seem to have little if any interest in the actual facts
of the matter.

Take it up over at alt.missmanners.parking and report back.

Uh huh.  And you determined the vehicle does not belong to the
property owner... or his family member... or his authorized agent....
how, exactly...?

Your sig conflicts with your post, as is so often the case in r.a.d.
