There is no generation that is blameless.

I suppose that is likely the case. But that also means that generations can be solutions, too. Cooperation is key though.

Yes. Greats, Silents, and Boomers have strengths and weaknesses. Ironically, Greats were the most racist, but as a whole, there would have been no better group to fight Nazis. We olds can learn a great deal from the kids, too. In isolation, there is no group that is equipped to save us all.

Police ceased pulling drivers over in S.F. years ago (and busting people for shop lifting as you know from countless videos). Drivers behavior responded in kind. The cameras and covering the entire city in speed bumps are a stop gap.

Thanks. I do not disagree with that. And I also do not want us to take the wrong impression of this success with cameras. They can only be a small part of broader tactics.

Well, it is the Bay Area, and anything remotely involving “cameras and government” upsets everyone. It was long overdue.
