The article is slanted pretty hard, this is why I always take this crap with a grain of salt. Now if the coppers were out there tossing tickets at the local subie, Honda, or Hotrod CAR SHOW, that would piss me off too...and there would be no reason to do so unless people were acting a fool consistently there.

Almost the same in Arizona, this state is turning into a dryer version of Cali.

2 years ago at 11:00 PM left work dead ass tired, heading home on 101 freeway. Cruise control set at 65 mph, speed limit 65. Minding my own business, listening to tunes, there are many other cars passing by me a lot faster, none of my business, as I approach 32nd Street exit a cop lights me up. I pull over, stop, roll down the window, cop looks at me seriously surprised to see a gray haired, well dressed dude listening to music you can understand lyrics and remember tunes from. Why did you pull me over I ask. He says my tail light is out. Bullshit I say, I have stopped to get gas on the way and have checked the lights just for shits and grins whilst pumping gas. He tels me that he was gonna let me go with a verbal warning, I say fuck the verbal warning, I wanna see my non working tail light, he says please stay on the car it ain't safe, I say bullfuckingshit, I demand to see, he walks back to his cruiser, on the way taps at my imaginary malfunctioning tail light and says No problem now it's working, musta been a temporary thing. Then he hauls ass with his lights on.

Two weeks later 200 yards from my house a biker cop pulls me over and gives me a ticket for going 4 miles over the speed limit at 10:00 PM, right after I took off from a red light. I have a logger connected, I show him my speed curve from the light did not even get to the speed limit he lectures me about driving a JAP CAR as he so elegantly put, and I have the whole convo recorded on my phone. I took him to court, judge sided with him inspite of my logger data and voice recording.

4 months later I sold the bad luck Impreza.

Karma is a bitch, I told the cop that if I was to see him on the side of the road under rain with a flat tire I wouldn't stop to help. A few months later during the monsoons, one corner east of my house he had a flat tire, I stopped next to him and said 'Karma is a bitch, as I told you I can fix your tire in 10 minutes but I won't', he wasn't happy with me. As I give a flying fuck.

Rallies are no place for traitors

"According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 804 people were killed in racing-related crashes between 2001 and 2006. California had 188 of those deaths, with Texas second at 128."
So, in FIVE YEARS, 804 poeple died from street racing. That's about 161 people per year in the entire United States. Compare this with roughly 42,000 automotive-related deaths each year, or about 16,000 deaths where automobiles and alcohol were involved, or roughly 2000 drunk pedestrian deaths PER YEAR.

Obviously, street racing is a much bigger problem than drunk people stumbling out into traffic, because it soooooo much more annoying.

maybe we should be looking at why it is socially acceptable to kill someone with a car.

Reply to both your posts.

Nothing about society makes real sense. I don't think there's much rhyme or reason as to what's socially acceptable and not.

People's ability to reasonably assess risk has been proven time and time again to be absolutely crap.

I was going to rant about this and that.. but decided not to.

Maybe we should have our friends on the Police force going after those who are breaking the law.

Street racing? Lock the fuckers up and confiscate the car but be damned sure that they are doing something really illegal; not just hanging out.

Drunk driving? First offense lose the car and ten years in jail. Second offense is a bullet to the head.

I bet this will be the end of drunk driving.

A 6-pack? When did they start selling acid in 6-packs? (For you kiddies... "acid" = LSD)

I suggested this first when I was a kid living in NW Florida, ya know? Where the locals aren't ashamed of the title "Floridiots"?

And I was a total non-drinker till I was in my mid 20s when I finally arrived in France and saw reasonaly responsible drinking unlike the silly binge type drinking that I saw in USA and Sweden, and realised the error of my ways.

So no I didn't drive around drunk, never have condoned it.

Besides, on 'shrooms or 'cid you still can drive just fine, ask Dave Clark about "Kelly's Birthday" when we drove across Seattle when he lightweighted out about 6AM and needed me to give him a ride home to my place where his car was.
He had no idea that I had just gobbled up another double-handful of 'shrooms maybe 40 minutes earlier----till I mentioned how I could feel every pebble and every bearing in the gearbox cause I was in TUNE with the box!!!

(And yeah that was in my mispent youth (early 40s).

heheh good point Jens. As far as I know most people can still equate LSD=acid ... but who knows, the dead haven't been touring for a while.

John I believe that the LIBS want to explore the drunk driver's feelings and sing Kum-By-Yah with the drunk that killed the busload of social workers rather then putting a bullet into the drunk's fool head.

You are some kind of wierd Lib John

Once again you frame the discussion totally erroneously and ignore the fact that nationwide there are many jurisdictions which have been controlled by atavistic authoritarian, repressive cliques of Old White Male Protestants, and they too have pansy ass toleration of what i see as different in no way at all from a drunk taking pot-shots with a powerful rifle at every car which he or she passes. (And it's only pure luck that they miss so often)

But to answer your post:

That's cause I'm not a Lib'ral.

Lib'rals don't advocate putting Stock and banking speculators and profiteers aginst the same wall they put corrupt public servants and using this on them:


Naturally water cooled for sustained operation, there's a lot of work to be done.
