I've been SANS CAR for quite a six-month period, but this week I had to pick up my car and RETRACE my old commute across the bRIDGEs and TunnelS. yesterday morning in my neighborhood, I approached a GREEN light and was met with a MOB of 50 DEFIANT high school kids crossing on the "NOT WALK" sign. the kids must have been evil geniuses, because they knew that if exactly 50 of them crossed at the same time, no car would have the gall or poewr to BREAK THE BARRIER, even if it was the car's right of way. I TAPPED my horn and to my dismay it was BROKEN! THIS was the freakin TWILIGHT ZONE, I'm telling y'all. after the 50 teenagers eventually crossed the road, another group of 50 were in waiting to CONTINUE BARRING ME from getting to work. worse yet, some of the MOST EVIL teenagers turned and laughed at me.
sooooo.....Powerless with no horn, I made a LOUD PLEA to the kids in a QUASI-FRIENDLY voice..."come on guys...my light is GREEN, won't you let me paSS?" and then like DARK MAGIC the sea parted a bit, leaving about 5 feet for me to begin to shimmy through and goad the stragglers out of my way. TEENAGE MOBS: FREAKIN SCARY.

so , do you want to get rid of cars or teenagers? When you were telling that story about the cars and teenagers and what have you it made me think back to the movie PATRIOT GAMEs where the IRA is trying to chase after this mother and her kid hold on
ok i am back so They are going to go after the family and then there are these little cathollic schoolgirl crosswalk guards that get in the way and they are delayed in THEIR DESTRUCTION
rky
I think we should get rid of CARS and instead turn to a form of FAST PARTICLE TRANSPORT. part of the power of kids is that anyone who says "LET's get rid of the kIDS" is automatically deemed more evil than the evil geniuses themselvvvves...
