It would be nice if a standard feature of a car horn would be to deliver to the 
user a mild electric shock -- just to discourage needless use.

Now after four years of a being tailgated by honking lunatics that have limbs 
hanging from their metaphorical grilles, I see the value in tightening my seat 
belt and dropping it into reverse.  Hanlon's razor seems kind of sentimental by 
today's standards.   Incompetence can be an accelerant of the conflagration of 
malice:  "We've run aground..  So NOW we rape and pillage!"
