Gravity is Now Arbitrary

Do rules still apply when there is no one around to enforce them? Yes? No? Sometimes? How do you know? Driving down the road, I always get a kick out of the people who slow down whenever they see a policeman in the vicinity and then, as soon the officer turns a corner and disappears, accelerate like there is no tommorrow. If a person is doing something that would make them feel ashamed and guilty with an officer of the law around, why are they doing it at all? Entonces, what about the insanely stupid laws, like a 25 mile per hour speed limit on a country road surrounded by corn fields? Should those always be obeyed? How about jay walking? It is so much easier to cross a street without having to make the long journey down to the crosswalk everytime. Is it okay to jay walk when there is no one around? Hmmmmm?
