Darwin Might Be In Winnipeg

I'm not perfect, I do make some mistakes. We all do. I have noticed lately there has been some very foolish pedestrians in Winnipeg as of late. From time to time people step out into traffic, usually they are not paying attention, lately there has been a lot. There have been people stepping out into traffic, against the light, and then looking at drivers like they own the road.

I realize pedestrians have the right of way, but if you go head to head with any vehicle you are going to lose 10 out of 10 times. It's simple physics. Maybe Darwin is lurking in the downtown area, and is trying to cull the herd. A sound argument could be make to adjust the mean intelligence of the Winnipeg population, but it would come with a lot of grief.

Maybe its the weather. Maybe the general populous needs a good reminder that a car can cause death. Maybe some people just have no regard for their own life. All that being said, many believe it is the responsibility of the strong to care for the weak. I can see this being a good thing and I tend to subscribe to it. However, it is difficult to help people who don't help themselves.

When it comes down to brass tacks, take care of yourself, look both ways when you cross the street, and watch out for your friends. Darwin may be lurking and you don't want to be the one who proves to be the dumbest. You don't get a very good prize.
