I don’t think this applies when there is ample opportunity to pass the car in front by the would-be-tailgater by simply going around the car in front (it is lazy not to just go around in this situation, although sometimes there isn’t a chance to pass, in which case I say definitely move over).

I trust that those I’ve heard articulate the principle were using it properly, notwithstanding your very impressive studies (I’m truly awestruck by you though).
Do you find it problematic that there are like 50 things that have to be explained away? That’s what gets me.

No, on an island those individual bits of information do not merit a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but for…

“Many of them take on higher levels of student debt than their white peers, often to pay for routine expenses, such as textbooks, that their parents are less likely to subsidize.”
Don’t forget that Robert Kraft was threatening to move the team to frikkin’ Hartford, CT!
