Well Shawn, everytime I've been in the states, those 
little lamo towns, I found the drivers there sooo nice.
Both sides of traffic came to a dead stop instantly
and let me cross. Maybe in some of the larger city's in
the US people are like that.

As for Europe, last time I was there, getting on the road was like a
death wish. I think I even heard one guy accelerating to hit me on
purpose! Some of those
driver's are wacky!

True. But that would be to simple. Make it more complicated, it'll work.

Once again, True.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Flip me the bird! Oh man, I haven't heard that one
in a while! It's still as good as it was
when I heard it for the first time!! Concerning that,
you have no idea how many times I've gone up on side
walks, almost steered into parked cars to avoid idiots.
IMHO, everyone other person who drives is an idiot. I'm
the only person who knows whay they're doing! There hasn't been one
day where I've gone out and not get mad at a minimum of 1/2 dozen
drivers. I have yet to get into a confrontation yet, but I can smell
it sometime in the near future! (I would use my clickers
if my left one worked, gotta see what's going on there)

You are a violent man Meze, but I like it! I've considered purchasing
an Uzi and placing it in my glove
box or under the seat. Nothing to bad, just take out
they're tires!

> Gawd im feeling totally patriotic right now.

Serve your country my man!

Later
