So is the Stop sign a "suggestion"? Do you oppose writing tickets and fining those who fail to stop? After all, it is only an "option", right?
Of course, folks have the "freedom" to break the law - goes without saying - folks should be "free" to break the law, as long as the consequences only accrue to them, and not others ...
Glad you are amused - we need more amusement these days ...
The only reason I stay stopped on an empty road with no other car in site and excellent visibility is because I fear a police car might show up just as soon as I decide to run it.
Does that extend to saying no to traffic lights? We are not free! How about stop signs? Or just say no to speed limits? Where does your "No" end?
It doesn't end anywhere.
But of course, if you run a stop sign, you risk consequences. The option is there, however!
Uh,huh, and if a guy runs stop sign, he isn't the only one to face consequences ...
It amuses me you think freedom causes people to be stupid.
Are you projecting?

Because the philosophical debate around freedom is chiefly about traffic control.
Durrrrrrrrr
Good grief - you don't get it, do you ... Of course you don't ...
So the ONLY REASON you stop at a stop sign is because the law requires it and you fear punishment by the govt if you fail to do so?

No, I stop at stop signs to look for traffic in order to avoid getting in an accident as well as obeying the law.
