For the most part, I agree with "pass-em-on-the-right-Nguyen", but his
rantings remind me of two of my own rantings:

I never knew what Lennon meant by "instant karma" until last week on
my way to work.  Driving down the back country roads as I must, I saw
someone spin off in front of me about 0.5 mile.  I knew that it meant
"phantom ice", so I dropped from 60 down to 35.  The turd behind me didn't
like that and started flashing me.  This is a 2-lane road (route 30
bypass into Montgomery, Il.) so I couldn't get over anywhere.  After
a few seconds of simulating wingtip strobes with his headlights, he bolted
around me with the standard single digit gesture.  You got it - 30 seconds
later I saw those headlights once again, then tail lights, then headlights,
then tail lights, then he was on his way off to tailgate a cow in the
adjoining field.  Me, being the pleasant person I am, politely retuned
the single digit gesture as I putz'ed on by him at 35.  I wonder who got
to work first?  Make my day.  he did.

Also, what is this stuff about seatbelts in Illinois?  Supposedly, if you
involved in an accident in any way, regardless of fault, if you don't
have your seatbelt on, there is a large monetary penalty or something
like that.
