There are any number of reasons why a person making a right turn at a four-way stop sign would not signal, thereby causing me -- who pulled up at the same time to the driver's right and wishing to turn right -- to wait a few extra seconds because I expected the person to proceed across the intersection in front of me. Had the person activated the vehicle's blinker, I could have turned right sooner. Although this is not "the end of the world," I find this sort of arbitrary approach to society's laws and simple courtesies a little troubling, to be honest. If this type of behavior goes unchecked, the person could well become a cold, heartless killer and be totally surprised when arrested, convicted and violated in prison by a same-sex inmate.
I would like to see the new world populated exclusively by respectful people -- the kind who might have performed on, attended or routinely watched "The Lawrence Welk Show" on public television (see photo below). I'm not expecting everyone to be conservative robots. These same respectful people could have raucous jamborees in their basements or vomit from overeating. As long as they don't cause delays or uncertainty for people at the Earth 2.0 equivalent of a four-way stop.
