Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

During the middle of the day, around 12:30PM, I got tunnel vision and ran through a red light at 110MPH near a school district while children and cars were going across. Jaywalking is extremely common so I thought they were jaywalking, and the cars I didn't think about. Usually I am extremely adamant about red lights and stopping for yellows, I can't explain how I didn't see the red.

I am fine but I could have killed plenty of people had I not been so lucky. Been driving the speed limit for the last few days ever since.
You're doing it all wrong, you made it through because you were doing 110 and that reduced the probability that you'd be occupying the same space and time as any of the pedestrians/cross traffic to near 0. Next time go 130 or 140 to be even safer.
