Civilization is doomed because people are intelligently adapting to the
situation around them rather than relying on blind obedience to
authority? I suspect your definition of "civilization" may be somewhat
different than mine if that's what you mean.
(For the record, though, I'm a stickler about stop signs. And full
stops before making a right turn on red, to the frequent annoyance of
people behind me. Speed limits, on the other hand...)
