That's the conventional view, maybe; I tend to drive where there are not 
other cars, a general case that works for all specific cases.  

Do you think cops follow the speed laws, or that an ambulance driver 
agonizes over which side of the road he has to drive on to prevent 
someone's dying?

What LSB?  Is there an LSB?  Really?  There's news of an LSB.  I'm not 
seeing much LSB in real life.  I'm seeing fewer differences between 
distros than I saw a few years ago, because I've learned more about 
what's under them, which hasn't changed much at all.
