Libertarians Like People
This from party member Dick Puddlecote, which proves that citizen's action works.
We are an independent lot down here in North Somerset, this junction is three miles from my house, Portishead also regularly wins the best flower display . Just getting rid of these lights has made a huge difference to traffic flows because people can be trusted not to slam into each other.
As Chaiman of Clevedon Pride, we 'seized' control of the 'Town Square, three years organised public events for flowers, Christmas lights arranged to have the rubbish strewn municipal 'pond' filled in and planted out. Yesterday some of our 'chaps' were out watering and planting out spring bulbs.Hose pipe donated by local business as were the bulbs, manure by the local stables, not a diversity officer or Health & Safety Officer in sight. Not everything has to be done by Municipal Socialism
The Square is now a nice place to sit, walk, shop and a cafe culture has sprung up
We cooperate with 'local government' were neccessary, but largely just get on with it. Clevedon Pride is now a normal part of the local landscape, we do not have litter 'police' fining people, CP arranged litter to be picked up by volunteers, then amazingly the level of littering started dropping dramatically as it became unacceptable to litter.
Clevedon Pride is not a 'Libertarian' organisation it is just that its Chairman is (me), its not all about high flown political theory, it is about volunteerism, the time involved costs me a couple of hours a week and a few meetings a month.

Thanks for the link.
I don't know about anyone else, but once the traffic started moving around 1:20 I felt positively relaxed just watching. :)
Amazing... this is what it's all about. If only more people opened their minds and actually witnessed more of this sort of thing.
Congratulations.
The interesting thing is how surprised everyone is that it worked, and yet when traffic lights break down, after a short while, drivers adapt very well in my experience.
The main problem is the mentality of the control-freaks, who think without rigid controls, we'd all run around like headless chickens, and the control-freaks are very good at getting themselves in positions that allow them to exercise their control-freakery, and when the results are negative, they use this as a justification of more control-freakery.
NEVERTHELESS, THE CIVIL LAW is and must be neutral about who has a more noble or rewarding faith. The breakaway parishes ought to win every Office 2010facet of the lawsuit not becauseMicrosoft Office 2010 their beliefs or their politics are better, Microsoft wordbut because both lawOffice 2007and equity, along with common sense, are on Microsoft Officetheir side.Microsoft Office 2007 Not only does Virginia state law (the Division Statute)Office 2007 keyexplicitly apply to just such a Office 2007 downloadsituation as now exists, but the history Office 2007 Professionalespecially of The Falls Church argues against the claims of Outlook 2010the Virginia Diocese with which theyMicrosoft outlookhave disassociated.Microsoft outlook 2010First, The Falls Church wasWindows 7 founded, formed, and developed long before the diocese, or the national Episcopal Church, even existed.
Even when traffic lights work. There is no incentive for those who command us to make the traffic flow any better.
If you have an average 10 cars totally in queue, all with working engines.... Calculate the revenue in burnt fuel.
Now multiply that with the total sets of lights in the UK.
