Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Cairo is trying to ease traffic and parking woes by putting in parking meters. I got a good chuckle out of this. The times I have been in Cairo I have been struck by the seeming complete lack of any sort of laws regarding vehicles and traffic. Street signs, lights, lanes and anything else involved in orderly driving is just ignored. The most important part of any vehicle is the horn. I saw cars in all states of repair (or dis-repair as the case may be) but the horn worked on every single one of them. Somehow I think the meters will be put to some other use than what is expected and traffic and parking will still be as chaotic as ever.
