Of course the traffic laws apply to me. And I'm not a spokesman for SPACE. I just want my Saturday morning breakfast.
I'm just pointing out that traffic laws are a bad comparison. We don't want perfect justice. Unless you don't drive, ever, you must have noticed that almost everyone is going at least 46 in the 45 mph zone.
The TED talks are great. Philip K. Howard has a good one:
