The gene pool could use a little Chlorine.

Our society is pushing more and more towards socialism, so much so that it is becoming more difficult for me to maintain my capitalist head sometimes. Driving home late last night, a tour bus (one of those 45-passenger busses) flew past me on the highway going about 90 or so, and the first thought that popped into my head was "they should put a governor on those things so they don't go too fast...that's really dangerous". I then immediately chastised myself for thinking that, reminding myself that it is NOT the government's responsibility to run our lives or businesses, but that it is up to the bus driver, the group that contracted the tour bus, and the police to make sure he is staying at a safe speed. What bothers me is that I know, had I been in the car with some of my crazy, socialistic friends (I have some of those, some right wing nut jobs, and many in various degrees in between) they would have nodded enthusiatically and agreed with me that we should all write to our senators and tell them that big vehicles like busses and transfer trucks need governors installed. No wonder nothing ever gets done in Congress if these are the issues we're really paying attention to.

Hear, hear, Lastsplash! I'm with you! And, I've had the same thoughts...only to beat myself roundly about the head and neck. I feel your pain, my friend!
