Interesting thoughts from a very wise man

Be ruthlessly free of society psychologically Posted: As long as you are acquisitive, envious, ambitious, seeking power, position, prestige, society approves of it; and on that you base your action. That action is considered respectable, moral. But it is not moral at all. Power in any form is evil: ...

Possibly if the message did not change drivers could quickly scan the sign and not be distracted.
