Y'all be careful out there...

[Triggerhippie]

Quagmire.

[Right Wing Assault]

Wonder if someone fell asleep.

[MarkeyD]

Take away the cars.

[vladimir998]

Bush's fault. And we need to ban those cars. They kill people obviously, right?

[50sDad]

Why the hell aren't Nancy Pelosi and Teddy Kennedy doing something about this? This has to be at least...divide....carry the one...nine times worse than what is going on in Iraq and here they sit doing nothing!!!!

[Fester Chugabrew]

Construction on this stretch of toll road seems to be a permanent thing. Two years ago I was held up in traffic at the same place. It's rather irritating to have to slow down for people who perennially lean on their shovels. But not worth my life.

[ozzymandus]

Car control! We must have car control! Won't someone pull-ease think of the children!

Seriously, this puts the military deaths in the fight against global islamofacisism in perspective.

[Jet Jaguar]

Quagmire and banning were already taken.

So, I will add the obligatory "Bushes fault."

[Triggerhippie]

Rest assured that I, for one, feel your pain. :)

Prayers to the victims and their families.

There are too many fools behind the wheels of motor vehicles who shouldn't be trusted with such a responsibility. I see them every day running stop signs, weaving through traffic, and blasting through crowded parking lots. Frankly I'm surprised that number isn't 286,720.

I was just driving down that road (and back) last month.

But damn, 28,672 automobile deaths in the United States this year. Compare that to the 2,200 U.S. deaths in the War on Terror since 2001. I think the anti-war nuts need to focus on shutting down our nations highways.

[SvdByFaith]

It's just too easy to get a driver's license.

[Sarajevo]

Nope, vladimir998 already beat you to that one also!

[Jet Jaguar]

I missed it. :0)

My bad.

[Sarajevo]

No bad, Dude!

BTW- I like your profile page.

[Jet Jaguar]

thanks!

...nine times worse than what is going on in Iraq and here they sit doing nothing!!!!

Automobiles - about 128 deaths every day. Murders - about 47 deaths every day. Hospital infections - about 241 deaths every day.

At this point, duct taping the windows and staying inside sounds like a pretty good idea...

Prayers to the victims and their families.

Amen to that!

That, too!
A good friend of mine drives a cement truck. Wednesday morning, he barely managed to stop when an idiot on a cell phone crossed the center line and caused a major accident right in front of him. He got out of his truck to check on a motorcyclist who had dumped his bike because of the crap on the road when some moron in a pickup truck almost ran over him getting out of the traffic jam. My friend was not even in the accident and he was shaken up pretty bad - he was also the first one to see the driver who had caused the wreck in the first place, messily deceased.

The hundreds of thousands of police officers on traffic duty every day in this country could cut that nonsense in half in a month if they were so assigned. And yet we choose to send them out to hide behind billboards with radar guns instead.
