“I don’t think of myself as a socialist or really a foreigner, any citizen of the free world should be pro-American and try to help America become the best it can be, it’s in the interests of all of the free world.”
In 1960 at the age of eighteen I applied for a driver’s license. Having to wait in line for others who were before me and witnessing the most atrocious driving skills or lack thereof, I came to the conclusion that somewhere between 50% - 75% of people who had/have driver’s licenses should never be allowed to sit in the driver’s seat of ANY motorized vehicle. I believe that the actual figure is much closer to 75% than 50%. Over fifty years of driving have only solidified my conclusion.
Be that as it may or whether or not I am correct in my conclusion and with regard to your above statement and specifically, “and try to help America become the best it can be,” I have the following comments:
So.....YOU get to decide what will help America become the best it can be?
And, of course, the roads and drivers in Canada are perfect, right? Why not try to help Canada be the very best it can be. It helps the free world, right?
The arrogance of some people staggers the imagination! Mr. Trump! We need a Northern wall, TOO!
Maybe I should go to a Canadian forum, tell them that I am from the USA and start knocking the roads and drivers of Canada, that they should listen to ME and clean up their act! Geez! I wonder what would happen? Would I be figuratively assassinated? ;-)
I don’t believe the number of freepers with chips on their shoulders.
Probably not, most of us are quite aware that we have a large contingent of bad drivers. I said so in my post. People run red lights up here all the time, and there is way too much texting on the road. We have our fair share of impaired drivers too. The roads are not that different from American roads, in general the signs seem a bit better to me but perhaps it’s just because I’m used to them.
It never hurts to get an outside perspective, nobody is forcing anyone to act on it.
But anyway, I am one of those deplorables who would like to live in the U.S., but there is no particular economic justification for it so I haven’t made the attempt (which would be illegal) so I just visit a few times a year. I am really not that into Canada, never have been really.
