Rapid brain growth causes headaches...

So, just when you start gaining on your IQ, it's "I have a headache honey" day!

If that were the case AND rats were both playing the NBA and posting to /.

Rats != humans.
One of the reasons applying behavioralism truisms to human beings is fcukd up.

There is no evidence that the drivers who roll-stop on an empty intersection are the same drivers who don't stop for pedestrians/bikers.

Threatening someone with imaginary punishment in order to change their mind is a weak argument.

This implies a zero sum game with either T-bones or rear-endings.

What would be a solution that only *decreases* the accidents AND is profitable for the government (cause it may not get implemented otherwise)?

Avoiding the experience of terrorism has nothing to do with the choice to terrorize your own people by leaving law enforcement to damaged, dangerous individuals with no accountability.

That is correct. The thing is, this behavior is encoded in a corporation's DNA. Corporations only understand money. They are organisms designed to extract money from their environment and give it to their owners. That's it.

Any expectation for a corporation to have a "moral code" comparable to human morals is unrealistic and naive.

Yes, by law, corporations are "persons."

Invincible, inhuman "persons," with no morals, no feelings, no compassion, programmed to extract money at any cost.

Sometimes I wonder if corporations can be viewed as parasitic life using humans to create suffering and transform it into an abstraction (the idea of value represented by the agreement of money).

The tendency to convert all natural resources, human lives and creativity into abstract numbers stored in computers leads humanity towards a future where we will have only money left on a toxic dead planet.

One man or woman's choice to act on their conscience, oath and integrity, in the right moment, is all it takes sometimes.
