dc is filled with honkeys

i live in downtown dc about a 10 minute walk from work. surely as the day is long, this walk is accompanied by a steady drumbeat of car horns.

honking is not going to make a stupid driver less stupid. further, it is fundamentally wrong to honk at a pedestrian that has the little white man walk signal. fundamentally. it is no less evil to honk at the car that has graciously stopped for the right-of-way-having pedestrian. you are evil, honker, and should not be tolerated in proper society. prisons were built for your type.

a bit hyperbolic? imagine the honk in another context. what if a person walking down the sidewalk, when the slower fellow veers slightly diagonal in front, yelled "hooowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"? blind person steps in front of him, "blaaaaaaaannnngggggg!" Person's a lunatic, no?

My notion is that the horn is the refuge of the little man trying to be big. Worrisome is the societal acceptance of the honk. It is a moral problem.
