Stop and Go

Nobody likes stoplights. We understand at an intellectual level that they are a necessary evil to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic, but deep down you know they are targeting you in particular, right? They see you coming and they do what they were designed to do: they stop you.

I think they would be more popular if they saw their job as not to stop people, but to let them go. And since they are inanimate (or so they would have us believe) it is up to us to change their outlook. We need to stop calling them stop lights and begin referring to them as go lights. That way they will have a positive outlook, and feel they are fulfilling the destiny when they let the most people go through as opposed to the current state of affairs.
