   An American visitor to London once commented to me that in that city
   they erect railings to stop people from crossing the street mid-block.
   She commented that in America we believe in freedom, so we allow
   people to cross and kill themselves.

In London, perhaps people respect railings.  In America we believe in
freedom, so we would jump over or go under :-).
