Oh, so you're one of *those* people. Hyperbole doesn't work. Neither do extreme
hypotheticals. You need to turn in your keyboard until you mature.
I'm sick and tired of people like AAA, NHTSA, et al whining "Speed Kills" while
cutting budgets for driver's education, making penalties for traffic violations
less harsh, etc... Perhaps that "fatherless child" had a moronic father who was
doing 65 in the fast lane on a rural interstate and refused to move over for a
driver that was going faster, asking him to move over, because
"he was doing the speed limit" and wasn't properly educated by a eupemistically
dubbed "driver's education" system. But that's another thread on USENET and I
don't wanna go there any more. Suffice it to say I disagree with what you wrote
physically and between the lines.
Yes, I know, I used a hypothetical. But I don't think it's that extreme.
