Speed Sucks

And I'm not talking about the drug. Okay, this is just a rant. What is with these people? There are three reasons for a human being driving a car to go faster than 77 miles per hour. I give you the 7 for kicks. You're bleeding excessively. The person next to you is bleeding excessively. You or someone in your vehicle is giving birth - not just in labor, I mean actively giving birth. That's really it.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Here's an idea...LEAVE EARLIER.

I wish they'd just make cars not able to go that fast. Have you seen what happens to a car when it hits something else going at that speed? Or after it's flipped over a million times?

I'm all for personal freedoms. But not when they impinge on mine. I've got two kids in my vehicle. I'd like them to see their lives. I'd like to see my own. I don't need my life or theirs obliterated in a second because some idiot feels the need for speed. Nor does anyone else.

And then, don't get pissed off when and if you get stopped. Then you're not only an idiot but you're a whiner. Be prepared to get caught. And take it. You felt the need to do this stupid thing so accept its consequences. I can almost tolerate an idiot - but I can't stomach a pathetic whiner.

And this goes for tailgaters too. You know what? I'm going to let all you speeding tailgaters in on a little secret. I'M NOT GOING TO GO ANY FASTER. I left on time. And even if I'm late, I am still choosing to obey the traffic laws. So screw you.

I wish I had a little button in my car that would release a large air cannon out of my bumper. But then again, maybe it's better I don't. Blowing people away into uncontrollable spins probably isn't the best example to set for my kids, huh?

Okay, rant over.
