Road Rage a Disease?
By: Dain Garrett
Road rage is a disease or at least that’s what was on the news. That’s right, I was watching the news the other morning and that’s what was being broadcasted. I almost chocked on my coffee, I couldn’t believe what I heard, Road rage is a disease. Now I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I admit it but I’m sure not the dullest and road rage as a disease just puckered my backside. We have come up with a way for people who are so impressed with them selves to justify why they drive like idiots, cause accidents and even death on our highways, shoot other drivers and get away with it. What ever happened to courtesy, respect and just plain old common decency, it has been pushed to the side by calling it a disease, go figure.
We are graduating kids from our schools who can hardly read, can’t make change of a five dollar bill, have no idea what going to work is and believe that the whole world owes them something. On top of that we have buried our heads in the sand about the true sexuality of our children, what they are being taught and by whom and what they are truly learning on the internet.
Our Government is driving the entire country into bankruptcy, if you question that then you better understand that China has bought a trillion, that’s right, A TRILLION dollars of our debt and that isn’t all of it. We are spending 250 million dollars a day to finance a war and our own citizens are receiving less and less return on our tax dollars to the point that even Social Security is not going to even be able to take care of those of us who fund it. Did you ever think what 250 million dollars a day going back into Social Security would mean? I’m not sure about you but I don’t remember ever being asked if our government could spend my money that way, were you?
Road rage a disease, I’m not thinking so but I guess we have come to a point of rather than saying this is wrong, it is just easier to put a name on it, find a pill for it and pretend it will go away just like our jobs, our homes and our way of life, go figure????
