Personally I think police officers are for the most part the pillars of the community and I am grateful for them putting their lives on the line for the public, however, I still can't help but think that being disobedient of traffic laws is a greater indication of their individual, moral, and ethical character.

That's okay; it's a regular occurrence. What ticks me off is that the people losing service (myself included) are being told that this is being done "to improve your commute." How does it improve my commute to have *fewer* buses running along the route that goes past my house?!?! I understand that this is a little-used line, and the folks in Costa Mesa need more buses, and more people will benefit than will suffer from the reallocations. Fine. I get that. So, why can't the bus company just say that? Why do they feel the need to inconvenience me *and* insult my intelligence at the same time? This reminds me of the time my local Rite-Aid stopped staying open 24 hours a day. Instead of putting up a sign saying, "We're sorry, but we can't afford to stay open all night," they put up a sign saying, "Now open till 11 pm for your shopping convenience!" Do they think we're morons? "For your convenience, please have exact change ready." "For your convenience, please fill out this form on our web site instead of bothering us on the phone." "For your convenience, we no longer accept personal checks." </rant>
