So why can’t they slow down? Instead they force me to slow down.

I’m just saying theyre the biggest, most lethal thing on the road and many of the operators drive like it. And it’s infuriating and many times very unsafe.

Or they just wontonly Sally on over into the left lane without a care in the world about the passenger vehicle going much faster than they on their left side.

God bless the truckers for what they’re doing. They have a lot of power and I’m happy to see them using it.

Truckers used to be the coolest guys on the road — helpful and polite. That was back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Now they’re bullies. I won’t drive the interstates anymore because of that. I-40 is a nightmare.

I know they’ve got it rough now, though.

Public highways. Maybe truckers should build their own roads?

Bezos changed that dynamic.

Nope but you feel free to worship before his glorious glow if you like.

Amazon Prime has changed my life for the better.

There is no arguing with a slave.

Oh shut up, old man. You sit behind your computer on the internet using search engines and browsers and cookies and you judge me because Amazon gets me things I need quicker and cheaper than anyone else every could? At least I’m honest about it. You’re the worst type of hypocrite there is.

Not old.

Not a man.

And I do not like your sucking on the taxpayer tit to give money to Clinton's buddy.

But it is your business of course.

You are the one who has to live with yourself.

And it sounds like you are having some trouble doing that.

I suggest shaving your head. That way you do not have to look in the mirror to do your hair.

It might help.

Haha. Oh man, you really are a bit of a looney. So you sit on your computer kneeling at the alter of google and microsoft and apple and all the social media companies who are tracking your every keystroke, every click, every log-in.

But me ordering something off Amazon is just WAY too much for you to handle. What an absolute clown you are.

I don't don any of those things. Never even ruffled my hair with that one.

But that is ok.

The total desperation of your grasping at anything to justify your adoration of Clinton's Pal is a sign that your soul is not totally dead.

There is hope for you yet.

“if drugs are made to appear alluring by legalizing weed”

Legality is alluring? Preparation H is legal - does that make it alluring?
