I think it's really nice that they're cleaning your cage before
the year ends.

No... the writer is an indoctrinator at fairly dickwad u and executive
dick at.....

AND the OP is a hack!

The ONLY thing worse than a liar is an ASSHOLE that twists statistics to
his agenda:
"Road fatalities in the US fell from 52627 in 1970 to 42116 yearly while
in the same period road fatalities in Germany fell from 21000 to 6949 per
year. ..."

Sounds BAD, huh... even though there's probably been a 3 or 4X increase
in vehicle miles traveled...

Still the death rate is FAR lower than it was 40 years ago. And it's
ONLY where miles traveled/driven is ignored that the US looks bad.

Here's the facts:

DEATHS PER 100 MILLION VEHICLE-MILES
(1) Sweden 1.2
(2) United Kingdom 1.4
(3) Finland 1.5
(4) United States 1.7
(5) Netherlands 1.8
(6) Denmark 2.0

(9) Germany 2.5

DHMO related causes, and yet there is a vast conspiracy to not
regulate DHMO.

Did you know that DHMO killed more than 230,000 people IN ONE
DAY? And yet, the governments and the UN do NOTHING to stop the
slaughter.

DHMO. You CAN live without it. Visit DHMO.org today!

A call for more regulation? Yep, that's manure. Liberal
droppings.

Well, you can't regulate everything and everyone. Cars and trucks are
very safe at this point, but a 2000 pound car will lose every time to a
5000lb SUV. I was involved in a big wreck a few years ago, and totalled
a Camaro, and a Cavalier, and causing over 14K damage to my GMC Sierra
truck. I was the only one hurt, not badly though. A 20 year old kid in
the Camaro turned in front of me at an intersection known for at least
one similar wreck a month and one or two fatalities a year. Finally,
after 35 years since the light was installed, a turn signal was put in.
The wrecks have stopped, period. They needed a "traffic study" to
finally figure this out and put one in!


I do wish they would stop playing around with morons that get arrested
for DUI. The first time, give them 30 days in jail, or a "DUI center",
but the next time, give them a year and they lose their car, and can't
drive for 5 years.A third time, 10 years. I don't have any sympathy for
them at all. My sister's ex-boyfriend has been arrested for DUI so many
times it's insane. He's lost his license permanently, but that doesn't
stop him either. He's served a few years in jail all together, but until
he finally really hurts or kills somebody, he won't stop. Screw'em, lock
him up. Lock all the drunks/druggies up if they drive while impaired. I
couldn't care less about drugs or booze use otherwise, drug and alcohol
laws don't work, never have, and never will.

Bikers will always be killed, it's just going to happen, it always has
and always will. Laws of physics.

There will always be jerks that cause wrecks, and unless you make cars
self piloting, that won't change either. Turning them all into armored
tanks that will allow you to survive almost any crash would work, but
both are not practical.

Wow, that DHMO stuff is EVERYWHERE! We're doomed if the government doesn't step in
to regulate this nasty substance.

We're seeing these right here!

DHMO should be banned, and all (ALL!) DHMO should be destroyed. It is
a hazard that we can't live with anymore.

Inspect the drivers not the vehicles.

Many of my fellow drivers do not know how to make a left turn. Many do
not know what that line in the middle of the road is for. Something has
to be done about people talking on the phone and watching videos while
driving.

yes 44,000 die in car crashes, but people take a LOT of car rides. We
should be more worried about smoking related deaths, which kill about
10 times as many.
