If you had the opportunity to give a single PSA (public service announcement) and all of Atlanta would be forced to listen, what would you say? Knowing that you would not be ridiculed, scorned, condemned, or ignored, what would you tell your listeners? This can be funny, serious, or sentimental. Just be sure to be honest. (i.e. My funny PSA would instruct Georgia drivers how to manage a four-way stop.) Keep in mind that your audience will take whatever you say and follow it to the letter.

Perhaps the single most important announcement that all Atlanta residents need to hear is that God has put over six billion people on the planet; no one person is special. It would probably sound allot like this:

"Hello everyone,
(yes, everyone includes you...yes I am talking to you, yeah you... the one on the cell phone)

Ok, now that I have EVERYONE'S attention, I would simply like to ask everyone to take a big look around them. If you look, you will notice well over four million people. Now, with all of those people, I would be delighted to hear just ONE good reason why you think you are better than the person beside you. More specifically, why do you deserve to be in a certain lane of traffic more than them or why do you deserve to be in line shorter than them? For some reason, all of you seem to think that you are the only ones that matter. This is simply wrong. Nothing separates one individual from another in rush hour traffic. Why then do you believe that the person beside you should not be able to get into your lane? They are in the same situation you are. They simply want to get home to relax after working all day. In the long term (aka the 45min commute home) the few seconds that you may loose by allowing some one in front of you means nothing, it only adds to the frustration with rush hour traffic. Just turn up some music and let it go--you will be happier for it and so will the person you let over. While this may seem like a moot point, but the underlying principal is the selfishness that we all have. With this said, LET IT GO! you'll be happier for it, and the world will be better for it.
