Well, yeah, that too, but the smoke is what is being blown up
everyone's, uh, noses. Can't see the forest for the smoke, or the trees
for the fire, or something like that, so you have to blow your own smoke.

You know, that is really interesting. Around here some forces are trying
to build a new road. They keep saying there is a problem with the existing
roads -- the roads are "dangerous." But if you look at crash and death
data, the injuries and crashes and fatalities are due to inattentive
driving, tailgating, drunkeness, and other stupid behaviors. I say, address
the stupid behavior with education or actual law enforcement, and lets see
how that works, before spending 10$ of million$ on a new road. But the
politicians just don't seem to get that, they want to build new roads to
accommodate the same bad behaviors.
