Yeah Chuck that was a good one.
I am far from being liberal - you should have seen me back in the Lewinsky days on here.
To say people shouldn't drive at night in the snow...are you kidding me?
I suggest you really go back and read the article completely and understand the facts before you take comments out of context.
This is just too rich for words - you post the Florida state flag on your user page, yet you feel qualified to opine on whether/when one should drive in Western mountains in inclement weather at night!
Look, pal, anyone from Calif (especially the Bay Area) knows the story of the Donner Party. Heck, the peak over the Sierras on I-80 on the way to Tahoe is called the DONNER pass.
Same stuff happened 160 years ago - just because you're driving a car doesn't change the facts about the weather & environment.
Thanx for the input however - I'll keep it in mind (snicker).
