Driving me crazy

How is it that some folks do not realize that the faster they drive, the more frequently they have to fill their gas tank? Does driving fast to get around someone only to slam on the break twenty feet down the road because of the next person in line make much sense? I do not believe that it does, but I do believe that it causes more stress than is necessary (although it is quite funny to watch). I think the maximum speed limit needs to be reduced, the government needs to add on an additional tax to gasoline, and speed limits must be enforced (maybe not stringently, but folks driving ten or more miles over the speed limit are a hazard). Maybe new technology will come out, and license plates will have an embedded radio frequency ID chip embedded in them, making pursuit a thing of the past. That way, if a cop zaps you with is radar gun and you are going over the speed limit, he doesn't even have to chase you. Big brother isn't all bad... only when he gets carried away.

Anyway, folks, make this season a little less stressful and slow down. You'll thank me later.

Introduction (begin the begin)

Some of the best things in life are random. I'd even wager that most of the best things in life are random. On the other hand, so are the worst things. I don't believe that everything happens for a reason. Well, actually, I believe that everything actually does happen for a reason, but the reason is more of a cause, and people have to figure out what to do next. If we can keep an open mind, change is good.

With this blog I am attempting to record the world as I see it, and maybe other people will appreciate my point of view. Others, probably will not, but there are plenty of other blogs out there, eh? I am hoping that writing some of these things down will help to organize my thoughts and perhaps help me find out where I fit in. I welcome thoughtful comments and discussion, but folks who have nothing good to say should probably save their time and energy, as purely spiteful and negative entries will be deleted as soon as I see them.

I hope to post here at least every few days to keep a continuous thread, but I haven't been too successful with that in the past, so... don't hold your breath, is all I am saying. I think we are in for some great times in the next few years, even if the patch we are currently wading through is rather rough.

Well, until next time.
