Lyrics of Gao Xiaosong's ninth issue: Gao Xiaosong's interesting talk about American laws(gao xiao song di jiu qi gao xiao song qu tan mei guo na xie fa ge ci )

I said, look at you Americans, then obey the traffic rules, those with rules, those without rules, maybe they obey both tradition and habit. You don't drive in the U.S. very often. If you don't have a problem, you play side by side. The American line is so short, and the line is so long, and he won't get to that line in order to be faster. It is only after three accidents that the traffic light will be set at this intersection. If there are no two or three accidents at this intersection, the traffic light will not be set. It is stop sign. What is the stop signal? It must be what I said. It stops for three or four seconds. There are no cars around. He stops at this intersection for four seconds. If he has a car, how can he live? He must have passed one from east to west, then one from north to south, then one from east to west, and one from south to north. No car ever followed the car in front of him. So after staying for a long time, it's hard to get used to it when you just come back home, because when you wait there, you'll wait forever. The car behind still urges you, and the car in front will never let you. It's very hard to get used to it. I said to the Americans, you obey the traffic rules, but you get home at 7:30, and you don't get home at 5:00. Look at us. We drive around, no matter what happens, then turn around, but we don't all crash on the road. We all get home at 7:30. You pursue rules, we pursue hidden rules. This is the difference between the two nations.

I think the whole traffic design in the United States reflects an important spirit of this country, which is quantification. Today, I will talk about the quantification of traffic. The numbering of expressways is very interesting, including the roads in the city. Basically, the odd number is north-south, and the even number is east-west. Interstate freeway is interstate freeway, which is in a very clear order. It takes 5 as the unit, and runs through the north-south direction. All the expressways running through the United States, from No.5 on the west coast to No.15 and No.25 on the east coast, and then East-West from south to north, with 10 as the unit. The southernmost ones are No.10, No.20, No.30 and No.40, and the North 80 and No.80 are the expressways starting from San Francisco and crossing the east of the United States. So there's a benefit for people who drive on the east coast. The speed limit on American highways is almost 70 miles. When the speeding police catch him, he suddenly points to Highway 95 and says, "I thought it was a speed limit sign.".

There is a small design in the city, I think it is also very interesting, that is, its house number, every block, reopen a 100. When you go to find someone, look at the number of the door. For example, he lives in more than 770. When you look at more than 100, you will cross six intersections. There's no need to look at the number of doors in the middle. It's just one intersection, and 100 is over. No matter whether 100 house numbers are used up or not, they all jump over and use the next 100 directly. In this way, you will know clearly that you will arrive at that place after a few intersections. I think the whole design is very efficient and quantitative.

When quantitative freedom conflicts with equality, is freedom first or equality first?

In this country, basically, the first ten amendments to the constitution are all about people's freedom - freedom of speech. Even the KKK party has freedom of speech. Just say it. I don't agree with you, but I can't forbid it. How to quantify every freedom and equality will produce a lot of interesting things. The United States is a Puritan country, and some laws are incredibly strict, such as California's prostitution law. In California, whoring is prohibited. In the United States, only five counties in Nevada are allowed to whore. In fact, whoring is banned all over the country. America is a Puritan country, very serious, not as open as Europe. When you watch American movies, you think the United States is very open. In fact, it's not. Americans are conservative.

Of course, big cities are not so conservative. The normal central and southern states are very conservative. California's prostitution law stipulates that when a stranger (the so-called stranger, you can't tell his full name) arrives at the parking lot of a hotel, you just need to pull out the key and turn off the fire. Even if you go whoring, you don't need to go in to open a room or do anything, just pull out the key there. When new immigrants study law, they specially talk about this one, that is, you must pay attention to it in California. California's laws are extremely serious for women's protection. Once you pull the key, you can be considered a whore. Therefore, American policewoman's law enforcement on fishing is particularly serious. Anyway, I'm not in danger. As long as you pull out the key, you will be handcuffed. You have committed the crime of whoring. Rape is also, the woman said you rape, unless you can prove that she framed you, otherwise you basically can't win.

Many big star defendants, such as Tyson, Kobe and Michael Jackson, are hard to prove themselves, because the law protects women and children very seriously. You have to prove that she framed me, and she doesn't have to prove that you raped me. Of course, you have a relationship, but you have to prove it. A friend of mine got into this kind of lawsuit. In the end, the lawyer found out that the monitor in the elevator caught the woman pull off her button and helped him get rid of the crime. In court issued this button, said the woman is framed him, he pulled out a button in the elevator. But if this woman is late for a while, she drives the elevator and goes out to find the evidence. You can't do anything.

The American police are not divided into different types of police. They don't say anything about traffic police or criminal police. As long as they are police, they are in charge of everything. They carry a gun in their pocket and put a long gun in their car. When they see someone who kills them, they go up and give them two shots. When they see someone who stops the wrong car, they also stick one. Anyway, they are in charge of everything and are very efficient.

You don't know where the police are hiding. As long as you press the yellow line and listen to "wuwuwu", the police car behind starts to catch up. Every time I'm scared. It's over. What happened just now? After watching it for a long time, I pressed the yellow line, and then let you pull aside. He followed you first. If you want to exceed the speed limit, he will follow you for a mile. This is California's rule. He can't test you for exceeding the speed limit at one point. He will follow you for a mile to prove that you have been exceeding the speed limit for more than a mile in a row before he can stop you and say that you are exceeding the speed limit now.

After giving you a list, you can go to the court. If you don't agree, you say I will go to the court. Everyone chooses to go to court. Why? Because as long as the police don't appear in court, you win. The police are always busy. If you want to go to court every day, the police don't do anything. Today I punished a person, I will come to a court tomorrow, for his sake? So as long as the police don't show up in court, even if you win, everyone will bet on it. In fact, when the police come, you don't lose all, you also win. You have many reasons. As long as you catch any small flaw in his law enforcement process, he can't help it in the end. And once you decide to go to the court, you have to go. If you don't arrive at the roll call, you have a big problem. If you don't arrive at the roll call, under normal circumstances, of course, you will be fined. If you are a little heavier, you will be asked to come to the court today. If you don't come, the punishment will be increased immediately.

There's a feature of California that I've seen on the east coast, but it's very common in California. It's called car pool. I think we should promote it. Car pool is a separate lane. Sometimes it's on the far left, which is the fast lane. It has a diamond logo. What does it say? Most car pools are written about two or more people sitting in the car to get on the road. In the most serious rush hour, car pool will write that it takes two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening for three people to drive to car pool. Normally it's two people. In order to reduce the congestion, but also for environmental protection, I hope you carpool. There's only one car in the U.S. right now. There's only one car going to die. Once in a while, I saw one or two people who didn't obey the law and put an inflatable or something beside them, so I drove them up.

There are many advantages to this. It's very easy for you to get a ride in the United States, so you can take a ride as soon as you get there. I think at the same time, it also creates a lot of marriage opportunities, that is, the chance to have an affair.

Another interesting thing about the United States is that there is a donor sign and a small red circle on its driver's license. When you apply for a driver's license, there is a column on the form asking if you would like to donate your organs if you have an accident. If there is no such article, it will be very troublesome for people who died in a car accident to donate their organs, because they have to find relatives to authorize them. The relatives were very sad at that time, and there was no time to think about it. When the relatives remembered, the cauliflower was cold. This is a very good system. Most of the people I know are willing to fill in it, and so am I. there is a red circle on the driver's license that says donor. If I have a car accident, as long as I can't do it, I don't need to ask my family for permission. As long as they see this donor, they will immediately donate all my organs. I think this is a very good system, provided there is no black heart doctor. If you rashly implement this policy, you will not be dead at that time. As soon as Dr. black heart sees that there is this donor on your driver's license, he will take it alive. This is not very good.
