 I wonder what would happen if I scheduled weekly ride-alongs with the cops
 near me and I taught them how I believed.
 
 I bet they'd get sick of me, but, I'm a law-abiding citizen, so they could do
 me no harm.
 
 I wonder if I could get through to a few?

 hello, I am an ant if @, but you can't touch me, because I am a law abiding
 citizen.
 
 I have to be, for I am loud.
 
 ... okay I stole a movie from the internet at least once.
 
 also when I was 11 I walked out of a store with a keychain in my pocket. I
 thought it had a nice texture so I was examining it and then my mom distracted
 me and somehow it ended up in my pocket. That night will forever haunt me...
 She wouldn't let me take it back...

 I smile at each and every person I pass on the street. Unless it looks like
 they're having a bad day, and then I try to switch to neutral as fast as I can
 so they can feel their feelings without me interjecting and making it about me.

 Stuff like that made me want to become a lawyer.
 
 I didn't, because while I can memorize a D&D textbook I can't recall much
 about legal rulings unless it has something to do with swords.

 I want everyone to be able to do what they want. With oversight, sometimes,
 because we all share things and we can't agree if we don't share. and I agree
 to share, I think it's only fair.

 people crave diversity, and their yokes chafe them even as revolution draws
 near. I doubt it'd be possible to constrain them to one set of procedures, no
 matter how equitable.
 
 Protocol, not procedure.
