If we could put both on one video tape, over the same route at the same
time in the same traffic stream, then we might learn something.

It's embarrassing to be an American when I see crap like this - or
anything from Detroit fpor that matter.

Pfft. Your criteria or "performance" is singular, and stupid. "Proof
by example". It's a "fallacy". Your repeated claims of your "proof"
serve only to reveal, roughly, how stupid you are. "Very" covers it
nicely.

And, you don't know how many you passed who made the same lights, and/
or were only a few seconds behind you once you did catch a light.

Who's "we"...?

Since many if not most people do not see "routine driving as a game or
a metaphor for warfare", from where must the perspective originate?

Could you be more vague?

Are you finding a lot of opposition to your right to drive? Or is it
the manner in which you drive?

"Not your fault", huh?

"It's a fight"... "must win", huh?

I can see you've given this a lot of thought.

It is not we who make it that way.

Driving, like other simple things you do to further your own life,
SHOULD be routine, because nobody SHOULD be opposing in any way your
right to do them.

But until everyone becomes that civilized -- that VALID -- it is a
fight and one that we must win.

First we kill all the "sloths", then we find some new terminology to
reflect our different techniques.

I think we'll have more in common than not.
