I have to admit that people do stupid things sometimes, my past is a shining example. However, by doing these stupid things we learn and grow, hopefully to be better part of society, my present being an example again. By legislating every little step we take or want to take, we grow a crop of people who can't think for themselves or make decisions. The Govt loves this type of population, easy to manipulate and control. Katrina was a good example; these idiots who got stuck in 'Orleans waited for the Govt to save them, even with three days warning. They waited and took no action on their own when the hurricane was forecasted, because they have been groomed to wait and be told what to do. Growing up in the 50s and 60s our cars had no padded dash, collapsing columns, traction control, etc. We actually learned the first time the binders were applied that if we were not sitting down we will go flying. And yeah, some of us had bumps. But we learned and grew. We payed attention to the world around us. Inattention is a rampant problem in driving, and getting worse (it isn't talking on the phone, that is way down the list). And why are people inattentive- because their car does everything and all they have to do is sit and ruminate. Several car makers even have an automatic parallel parking feature-GIVE ME A BREAK. KISS is the way we should keep the cars, and unfortunately all these fat-ass drivers love to just sit and steer. Wait; steering takes too much thought and energy, maybe Toyota will fix that. Save us, Toyota, from our own thoughts. In all seriousness, when my neighbors new Kia wouldn't start she just sat there, calling a tow truck. I wandered over there and she had left the lights on. All thought and reasoning is being drained out of drivers, and my farmer buddies are beside themselves....Russ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
