You can't "legislate" common sense, but you take away the opportunity to use bad judgement. The 4 way gates will make it impossible for a car to weave around the gates if they are down taking away a temptation. We'll have to see if the gates get broken by people now trying to beat the gate. This may be better than playing beat the train.<BR>
There are many people that lack common sense. <BR>
Speaking of common sense, or the lack tere of, has anyone seen the Mike Judge movie "Idiocracy"? It's fantasic, funny, but also not that unbelievable given what I see when I watch the news.<BR>
