Impossible things everyday that are only made possible through the little, reasonable compromises we all make... [like these cars]... Every one of the cars you see is filled with individuals of strong belief and principles they hold dear, often principles and beliefs in direct opposition to their fellow travelers. And yet these millions of cars must somehow find a way to squeeze one by one into a mile-long thirty-foot-wide tunnel carved underneath a mighty river... And they do it, concession by concession, you go then I'll go, you go then I'll go, oh my God I that an NRA sticker on your car, is that an Obama sticker on your car, uh, that's ok, you go then I'll go. And sure, at some point there will be a selfish jerk who zips up the shoulder and cuts in at the last minute, but that individual is rare and he is scorned...
