Oh silly me... the Tenth has obviously been allowed to mutate freely in homage to the Great American God of Materialism.

Oy! Uberspanker! Who are you to take it upon yourself to rewrite the Tenth Commandment? Yeah, we know where you pinched the added text from, but please don't quote a mere observation as if it were a straight translation.
By the way, since you shout about an interest in road safety, and traffic signals in particular, you might want to know that your precious ADOT is completely up itself with a point made in its Driver License Manual, page 25. "Green − Green Means Go ... This signal means GO."
What utter rubbish. To anyone with the slightest awareness of defensive driving principles, it means "Go If Safe", and the "if safe" should NEVER be divorced from this as it has been here. Yeah, they say "if the roadway is clear" a bit further down, but that's not good enough.
The next bit is priceless, too: "Check right and left for oncoming traffic." "Oncoming"? How aboat "approaching". Writing about this stuff shouldn't be left to kiddies working for McDonalds wages. If you want to do something useful about road safety education, you might go rattle their chain a bit.
Great Gallery, Jeff. Wonderful Witness!!! I continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless you!!!

I really am impressed with the faith you have in God. I also noted that where you typed the ten commandments you used God's name Jehovah. Although part of the ten commandments many do not know what God's name is. So I commend you on noting it here and I enjoyed your comments about your faith in God. Thank you.
