A very modest and minor addition to Howard's account of stopping at red
lights.  It's not just coercion by agents of the law that leads us to
stop, but also awareness of traffic coming at us crosswise!  We stop
because we don't want to get run into, as well as because we don't want to
pay a fine.  Sometimes one reason is more prominent than the other, of
course.  This is minor, but it keeps our hypothetical drivers from being
stooges, and society from being a constraint on otherwise free beings.
