When I was a little kid, I used to believe that "Pedestrians" were another race of people and I was confused as to why they would be segregated from the rest of us, as my lessons at school taught me that all races were equal.. Seeing signs all over the place that read "Pedestrians Only" or "Yield for Pedestrians", or "Watch for Pedestrians" continued to confuse me. What was so special about pedestrians? What was wrong with them? Why couldn't they walk with the rest of us? It wasn't for a year or so that I realized what a pedestrian really was. =)
