And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

IT'S A 3-WAY STREET

"By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, my video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets. The video is part of a larger campaign I created called '3-Way Street'."
Videographer, Ron Gabriel couldn't have stated it any better.  Towards the end of the video below, he also states that, "There are 12,370 intersections in NYC, 74% of crashes happen in intersections, and 4 people are killed or seriously injured every day."

After you watch the video, you'll see how crazy it is.

That's just insane. Houstonians would never survive up there. I was getting frustrated by just watching all that chaos. It's like nobody cares do drive, ride or walk right, and yet no tickets are being handed out. I get pulled over by a cop for going the wrong direction for two seconds on a one way, yet so many deaths just almost accured on one intersection alone and I still see no police. It sure looks way different then down here.
