Jay Walking

I am a fan of jay-walking. I don't mind it when someone decides that they don't want to wait for a proper crosswalk to make it to their destination. I don't see any harm in it if a person is not putting themselves or others in danger. In danger, meaning not walking in front of a four thousand pound pile of moving explosive metal, glass, plastic, rubber, and upholstery. For some reason the corner of South Washington Ave. and Kalamazoo street in downtown Lansing, Michigan seems to be where self-centered, egomaniac, dare devil, Terminator types that seem to haphazardly dash out into the road like drunken Frogger. What would compel someone to step out in front a car that as their lane has been given the go ahead with the green light and the pedestrian as the red light? What makes matters worse is that these walking wonders seem to have not a care in the world as they nonchalantly, casually make their way through crosstown traffic. Hey blithering butt munches, get out of the damn way, thank you.
