More traffic woes

I know i've said this a million times, and each time the response is "oh it's that way, you can't do nothin about it" - the traffic is un-fucking-bearable. Today, i was driving back, and i was about a km from home, relieved that i had only 10 minutes driving to go, frantically looking at both the mirrors and what do i see -> a guy is blocking a bit of the road, selling hammocks. Selling hammocks !!!! Can you believe that??? Selling fucking hammocks amidst all this chaos, i just could not believe it. I keep asking myself, why do people drive the way they do? Everybody from the much hated rickshaw guy to the bigshot CEO in his sleek mercedes drives the same way, a great leveller isn't it??? It is a sad day indeed, when you see that no one wants to give way to an ambulance blaring it's horns, no one seems to give a damm!!! Autos drivin on the sidewalks, old people tryin to cross the road with everybody competing about whos gonna run 'em over quicker, cows deciding they wanna stick their heads up somebody's exhaust (maybe their version of snorting), two wheelers trying to prove a point - that discovery channel should forget the game at the serengeti and that this is way wilder and primitive than they can ever imagine. Darwin, what was that again about Origon of Species??

What shocks me the most is that no one gives a fuck, everyday says "thats the way it is" and continue driving the way they always do. No one gives a damm about red lights, other road user, pedestrians, nothin!!! Anybody who visits this city, what do they see first - the traffic !!! What sorta message does it send out ?? A little self discipline would go a long way in making things better. But yeh, who cares?? Right ?? It is a sad sad day indeed !!
