Here's what we should do: promote Darwinism. We should perfect "invisibility clothing" or "active camoflague," and sell it for dirt cheap.
Because then, all of the STUPID-ASS joggers out there will buy them and jog with it. It won't take long to clear out the stupid ones. You know who I'm talking about, the wanna-be's that decide to take-up jogging, and run out in the middle of the night wearing a dark jumpsuit with the hood up, no reflectors, run with traffic (instead of against), and wear headphones so they can't even hear oncoming traffic.
I live in a nice suburban town, where not much happens. The most we get is the occassional teen busted for possession of pot. Our streets are clean, but being suburbia, many of the twisty ones aren't very well lit.
Anyway, my town is full of joggers. Now, the smart and experienced ones try to wear white and reflectors when they're out at night. I have nothing but the utmost respect for these people. Some of them run marathos, some just run for heatlh, but ALL of THESE particular joggers at least have some common sense.
Then there are the boatload of jerks that will jog wearing a navy blue jumpsuit, or black jacket, all down the "quiet" streets. Unfortunately, they're quiet because their residential areas, and quiet residential areas have barely any friggin street lights.
To add insult to injury, they'll run across the street without even looking (even when the don't cross sign is up) and don't have a care in the world.
I can't begin to count the number of times I've almost hit some jerk jogging in the middle of a dark street, wearing the darkest friggin clothes possible. And, of course, it'll be my ass on the frying pan if I ever hit one.
So, I say appeal to those asshats that like to jog in dark clothes at night, give them active camo, and let natural selection run its course. We'll rid of the wanna-be joggers in a few months, and make our streets safer.
