"The anti-American is a fool weaving in and out of traffic to beat everyone else - especially at the expense of other's safety. He views his teammates as enemies. He is only out for himself. Non serviam."

No, that's just a friggin' idiot.

Now, me, the advocate of non serviam, I stay within the speed limit, signal my turns, allow others to merge, never give in to road anger.

Why?

Not cuz I'm a team player, not cuz I give a flip about the other drivers. No, I drive moderately, safely, cuz I give a flip about 'me', cuz I know self-control on the road (and in living) minimizes my cost and maximizes my benefit over the long haul.

The fellow you describe above is just a bundle of appetites and impulses. He has no self-regulation. He's the sort who makes burdensome 'law' a neccessity.

He's one of your friggin' 'extremists'.
