Road Rage...

...would be excusable once a day: we would all have the right to vaporize one aggressive and/or stupid driver a day with impunity. (After that, regular laws governing mayhem would apply.)

    No revenge? Well, not until the next day, right? You can off someone and they can't be avenged until the following day? Have you seen the movie "Abril Despedaçado" which has been translated as "Behind the Sun" for some odd reason. It's from the novel, "Broken April." It's about a blood feud between two Brazilian families that's been going on forever ... year after year someone else is "offed" out of revenge for last year's "revenge."

      No, no: Everybody gets one free pass every day to off one aggressive and/or stupid driver. It never comes back on you, as long as you don't exceed one a day. No revenge, ever. Aggressive drivers don't deserve to live, in my perfect world. Offing them (one by one per diem, natch) is completely just.

      Of course, they have to be genuine bastards (or fools). You can't just pick somebody at random because you're having a bad day or something. Karma would figure heavily into the equation--everybody would have a karmic vaporizer of some sort which would refuse to work if you were trying to use it with ill intent... or something. It would have to require some kinda Vorlon/organic technology, I guess...

          my vote would be for all the car doors locking, then the gasfumes from the engine gracefully pumped in. but as they died the radio would come on and they would have to listen to themselves finally at last, and maybe everything they ever did would flicker in the rear view mirror
          as the watched. Then they would be dead, the doors would pop open, angels in hazmat suits would plunge large needles into them and suck out their essence, put that into a pill bottle and turn the rest of them into those cute little hexigons of salt and other elements like
          on the old star trek episode. This could be efficently made into soap to ship to mexico, or some other place of choice.

            I bow to your clearly more creative creativity...

            But I think I'll keep it simple, myself.

            Soap: how environmentally conscious of you!
