You live in the middle of the Prairie? Not every country has straight
(boring) roads. Some, such as NZ and many European & other sountries,
have lots of twisty roads... with NO straights at all. Try overtaking
on these... no thanks, not even with a 400hp car.

Who says I'm trying to excuse violence? Reread my posting. *I* don't
use violence, and certainly do not condone it in others either! I'm
saying that slowpoking is, whether we like it or not, the cause of
much if not most road rage.

>You don't own the road, you share the road.

Of course. And it would be nice if slowpokes didn't hog it.

Only if you're toing the gummint line (swallowing the unsubstantiated
propaganda).
