STARTING OVER

It is 7:02 a.m. in the upper Wabash River Valley, dark out and 33.5 degrees F. Earthdog Patrick is still in bed, tuckered out from a long day of sleeping yesterday.

The other day, as I'm driving at 55 mph down our narrow country road, a guy turns out from a side road on my left, turning so as to come straight at me (in his lane, I mean). No problem . But he timed it so that he was making his turn at just the exact same second I was passing by. So as his front left fender is slightly across the center line, I'm whizzing by. Had he waited just a split second later, this potential meeting would not have occured. I've seen morons do this before. Wait until you're coming by, then turn into you. They can't wait TWO SECONDS? I've never done this, it's stupid.

I sincerely believe that people that do this should be legally executed on the spot.

Governors of states have the power of life and death over citizens. They can prevent executions. They used to (maybe some still do) have the authority to declare individuals "outlaws" and then anybody could shoot them on sight, with no questions asked. This was usually reserved for "Bonnie and Clyde" type gansters engaged in a current crime spree involving killing cops.

I think our governor should declare the people that do the above mentioned maneuver to be outlaws and allow citizens, if they have a witness with them, to immediately chase them down, pull them out of their vehicle, and put an end to their miserable lives by any method at hand, including staking them out in the sun at an anthole covered with honey. Also this would prevent any further spreading of these cretins genes.

There is not a dirty word in the English Language that comes even close to describing what I think of the bastards who pull this on me. After long and sober deliberation, I think some forms of Road Rage ought to be sanctioned and encouraged. Far more of our innocents are killed in traffic accidents than in our wars...

GO GATORS! BEAT BUCKS!
