I know these things are more complicated than they seem at first, but whenever these stories surface, I immediately go to an idealistic childhood cartoon land where we have a prime directive that tells us to go forth(!) and watch out for each other!

I thought for a moment this was some kind of reference to "no more destroyed Amazon Ground trailers on underpasses"...

#8Just wanna say, Monga Bay is an incredible publication that doesn't get enough attention.
