LA Sucks

There is a reason why I believe that there are so many accidents in Los Angeles due to people running red lights. For one, major intersections do not have turn only lights, so the people are forced to go three to four cars after the red, just to make it. If not, they would never be able to turn. Then the ones that have turn only lights only stay green for five seconds. Really! Like if you had a manual car, by the time you shift into first, the lights yellow. On top of all that, none of the lights make any sense. Like most places, if you run a red light, it doesn't matter because you'll get the next red. In LA, if you catch a red light, the next light stays green during the entire duration of your red light. Then yours turns green and you proceed to the next intersection only to get there just in time for it to turn red. And it is not uncommon to go down a five mile stretch of road and catch every single red light. Even ones at small streets that don't even have cars there. The lights just turn red, and by the time you come to a complete stop, the light turns green. It's like someone is fucking with you. So in an essense, you're actually encouraged in LA to run all the red lights possible. If you want to get where you're going to, that is.

No, I don't own a copy of Margin Walker on vinyl. That'd be awesome. I'll send you that book back. It's funny you mention "Arizona Bay," I was listening to that today.
