By and large, they don't want to -- they bought the Smart car to prove they're above all that, otherwise they would have bought a Hyundai Accent (virtually same real-life mpg, much more spacious and comfortable, a "real" car, not a torture chamber). But a Hyundai Accent isn't an ego booster thingy like a Smart. Assholes.<br /><br />As for the self-righteous Prius drivers, they see it as their *duty* to park in the left lane and slow down all those terrible terrible people who want to break the law by driving even 1mph over the speed limit. They see it as their contribution to saving America from the oil companies. See last word in previous paragraph ;).<br /><br />Finally, regarding crosses: I'll just quote the late great Bill Hicks here: " Do you think when Jesus comes back he's gonna want to see a fucking cross? ". Heh. Yeah.<br /><br />- Badtux the Snarky PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-78278762714145099952012-03-21T20:54:58.587-04:002012-03-21T20:54:58.587-04:00I really am sorry that your traveling has been suc...I really am sorry that your traveling has been such a bitch.<br />with all my sympathy<br />w3skiw3skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993709956954374919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-42966844651179779262012-03-21T20:38:03.937-04:002012-03-21T20:38:03.937-04:00Obviously, you're headed west and well past Ef...Obviously, you're headed west and well past Effingham, Illinois. I don't how west you're going but there is 'weather' ahead once you reach Kansas. <br /><br />I'll be turning right off I-57 to go west on I-70 in mid-April when I go to the NRA Convention in St. Louis. <br /><br />Watch out for the Illinois state po-po, they are a humorless bunch....about speed limits (their governors need the money to make more license plates -- literally!) and especially when it comes to personal firearms in your vehicles.<br /><br />Safe Travels and Journey Mercies...<br /><br />All The Best,<br />Frank W.

I almost went off the road, mesmerized by people attaching someone to the cross. WTF!! Stop it for crying out loud! You have nothing better to do than hang your friend from a 30 ft cross?
