OK, I want you to relax.  Think of a calm beach.  You've had, oh, nineteen
beers.  You feel you mental processes moving reeeeaaaalllly sloooooowllyyyy

Now.  In this torpid state comes the question:

	How long does it take for you to envision a driving scenario where
	running a red light is a probably-defensible action, assuming not
	totally unreal circumstances (terrorists gunning after you, etc)?

It took me 10 seconds.  (I want to say 5, but modesty prevents me.)

I'm just curious how long it takes you.  I'll tell you the full story at
some point...
