Now
that I've been enriched by cultures from such unlikely places as
Rwanda, Sri Lanka, El Salvador and Kazakstan...Now that my mind
has been liberated from the oppression of Euro-centric dogma...I'm
constantly assaulted by the oppression that exists in American society.
Nowhere is this more evident than on the roads and highways of our
nation.
The
following road signs are an insult to enlightened people and must
be eliminated:
No
Left Turn:
Militantly anti-progressive. For the good of society as a whole,
especially the underclasses, movements to the left must be encouraged
at all times. Those attempting turns to the right (reactionaries),
those determined to go straight ahead (traditionalists) and especially
those Rushing backwards (conservatives) must be made to yield to
those moving left (progressives).
No
Right Turn on Red:
Overtly reactionary. Movements to the right must be outlawed and
violators put to death on the spot.
No
U Turn:
Elitist. This forces a rational thought process on existentialists,
progressives and other non-conceptual intellectuals who recreate
reality as they go along, requiring frequent 180 degree changes
in direction.
One
Way Street:
Elitist and anti-democratic. This subjects the underclasses to the
tyranny of those special interests who ignore the need of the masses
to go in the wrong direction.
Loading
Zone:
Materialistic. Elitist. Anti-democratic. Grants special privileges
to powerful business interests who exploit the workers and underprivileged
in the name of mindless greed.
Yield:
Demeans women. A blatant attempt to subject women to the oppressive
yoke of those members of the chauvinist male horde who are impeding
female progress by moving across her path.
The
whole notion of road signs and traffic signals smacks of authoritarianism,
and the naked aggression of a fascist police state. It's obscene
to impose these Western values in this multi-cultural era. It's
nothing short of tyranny to command blind obedience from everyone,
when so many people may feel a need to move outside the meaningless
conventions of our Euro-centric traffic customs. No justice...No
peace!
