(this should probably be two posts, but why clutter?)
As I watched the drive shaft of my vehicle scrape along the ground while it was being towed away, I started thinking about US drivers. It's not about women, or teenagers; there are just too many stupid US drivers. Part of it is that our legal system is too lenient. I say, forget about silly speed limits on big highways, but make penalties stiffer for screwing up. If, for example, you are in a minivan on a busy street, fall asleep, and then swerve into oncoming traffic and CREAM someone else's car, you should not be allowed to drive again. Ever. Same deal if you're caught drunk driving (and by that I mean you were swerving around, etc). Also... well, I'll not say anything about old people, but police should be able to pull people over and fine them heavily for simply 'driving like an idiot.' I believe this would make everyone's driving life (should they happen to have one) more pleasant, and would decrease pollution to boot. And only a couple of days after that happened (that is, some idiot in a minivan fell asleep and almost killed me) an idiot woman ran a red light and almost killed me AGAIN. I'm not getting in a car for awhile.
And, as to the second part of the subject... I don't like the policy of most democrats, and I don't like republicans... but I have decided I really have to vote against Bush. I would vote for almost everyone. That diseased gerbil on cocaine, Dean... the quasi-democrat Clark (which is good in my book)... probably anyone except Gephart and Leiberman. Mostly because I can't spell their names correctly (won't have to worry about Gephart, I know). I just can't believe Bush is threatening to propose an amendment to ban gay marriage. Jesus Christ in a blender, is this what it comes to? I'm neither gay nor planning to get married, but I sure as hell don't think we need amendment 27 to say 'no gay marriage.' Course, that's what he is going to try and do because the marriage protection act of '96 is pretty unconstitutional and will probably be struck down... not only does the idea of putting that amendment in step on state's rights, it just seems a little ridiculous to me.
We have got to have more important things to worry about. (*cough* 'Patriot Act')

Speaking as the idiot who use to race with a minivan id have to disagree with you. I think our laws are too harsh, I really see no reason for speed limits at three oclock in the morning (or any time before or after) but especially in the middle of the night. However im a good driver with my flawless record of no accidents or tickets. So my point is that the laws should not be harsher because it makes it very difficult for the good drivers to drive crazy.

Good point about idiot drivers. Last night I had some dipshit almost plow into me because he was too busy gawking at some other schmucks misfortune. That's right I was almost by a driver who was watching a firetruck and towtruck deal with the remains of the last accident. Good thing I'm not one of those drivers who thinks that the brakes will do miracles and dodged his car instead of sliding (on pure ice) into it.
Jesus in a blender, good clean fun.
Gay unions are fine, just dont call them marriages. Union or some new word I don't care. Anyways Bush pisses me off because whatever way you look at him he's a prick. If you think he's stupid then everything he does is a mistake and you can pity him. If he's actually smart then you can despise him for putting out the bumbling dumbshit image and playing the American populace. Either way it ends up with you not liking him. The war on terrorism's just another excuse to tighten the iron fist and thicken the velvet glove that are currently crushing the life out of all the principles America was founded upon. In other words fight the fucking power the only way that matters, in your own mind.
Good times

I'm going to vote for the person most capable of taking care of my dogs if they say lived next door and I were going out of town. Right now, Dean looks well fucking nuts, Bush hell no, Clark hmmm see Wes, dogs are those furry things in the yard - never mind. Maybe Edwards - presidents should be from the south anyway.
