What People Actually Do

I do a lot of political commentary but I don't want to make to0 much of the photo above. I found it on Mother Jones and started laughing when I realized no one was precisely following the abrupt turns of the blue line. Of course not. The people at the Copenhagen conference were walking casually in a straight line. Let's hope they can cobble together a global warming policy that's as sensible as the way they walk.

Actually, just to add a 'footnote,' planners who design big college campuses have in recent years refrained from putting in too many walkways. Why? Because it's easier to see where people start walking and pour the cement later. That's a kind of pragmatism one can admire.
