TAKE THEIR LICENSES AWAY

It's 6:28 a.m. an 65 degrees out, and dark, and Patrick's on the side Porch.

Pastrick, Junior and I live on a State Highway, in the country, but it is a narrow two lane road, the same width as the county roads. Indeed the only difference from them is that it has lines painted down the middle of it. To give you an idea of the width of each lane, a semi has about four inches on either side of its tires. Anyway, yesterday I was on the way into town, and this shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool moron, comes roaring out of his lane, without stopping, (From a newly built city person's house) pulls out in front of me, pulling full into the opposite lane and accelerates like a bat out of hell. I guess he did this because he saw me comming(maybe) when he was half way down the lane and didn't want to stop because he knew he couldn't see at the end of his lane, because it's obscurred by a berm. Did he look the other direction? I don't know. So I decided to chase him. That was a mistake. He was doing 85 mph in a 55. This road is not a flat freeway with a 2 mile visibility. It has steep hills, the kind that you don't see oncoming vehicles until they crest the top of the hill. I wanted to see if he would slow down enough stay on his side of the centerline when he hit the S-curves. Most people can't or won't even at normal speeds because they don't understand how to driveand/ or don't possess the ability to operate a motor vehicle properly and safely. It's my opinion you should NEVER knowlingly cross the centerline, always assume opposing direction traffic, just as you always treat a firearm as if it's loaded. Any way the idiot at hand--I couldn't keep up with him and still be safe, so I let him go. He was lounging in the front set like an inner-city negro, his head was in the center of the passenger compartment of his little car. I got the impression he was a youngster. So many thousands die every month in the U.S. from traffic accidents... I'm sure he will be among the sattistics at some point either as a fatality or a cause of death...I'd like to throttle him!!
