Ehm... laying on the road blocking traffic vs. (only thinking about...?) running over someone: big, big conceptual difference! In the first case, someone tries to get your attention about a specific problem - in the second case, someone just seems to "think" in an egomaniacal way.

The real tragedy of much of today's "life" is that it's more and more "me (and "my" family) against everyone" - and not, as it should be (IMHO), "let's try to (radically) resolve our common problems together"...
