We are an “or” society. Should we use solar power, or wind power, or oil power, or hydro power? Should we be vegan or vegetarian, or omnivores, or locavores, or carnivores?

Confessions of a Road Hazard I have something in common with deer, I am a road hazard. My sins are not related to the bottle or to an ill-maintained vehicle. My crime is (drum roll) I drive the speed limit, or at least close to it! Do I hear gasps? Yes, I have been the…
