Well, time to respond to this string of articles.  I am against any action
that would threaten lives on the road.  (paint in glass ornaments qualifies)

Why hasn't anybody just stated  the obvious.  Get out of the way!  I have a
rule I live by.  Be a nice guy on the road.  If a semi or a bike or another
car is approaching fast,  (you should know this if you use your mirrors)
simply move over.  I don't see what being nasty accomplishes.  Maybe you'll
kill the person who tailgated you, then you'll be happy?  Maybe you'll kill
yourself, then we'll be happy! ( :-) no one needs to die!)
