Walking down the centerline

Posted January 30th, 2009 at 05:30 AM by mknutson
For way too long, I keep asking myself: "Why do ignorant people think they are cars?"

Every time I go to the store, a shop, or even to the Arena to see a show, inevitably there are several people walking in the middle of the road. They are just waddling along not paying attention to anything in the world. Then after about 200', they finally glance behind them to notice "Oh My, there is a car behind me!" And the stupidity is passed down to the children that they are walking with. Really, is it more than common sense to get the fuck out of the road.

At least that is what I was taught growing up. This IMHO, is the result of a government protecting people from themselves. But in reality, if you are ignorant enough, which way too many people are, you will find some way to hurt or kill yourself.

I guess I am just appalled by the lack of awareness by so many people. So in final thoughts:
  1. unless you are running on 2 or more tires, more your ass OUT of the road.
  2. Wake up and pay attention to the world around you. Maybe there is actually something productive you could offer, instead of just taking up space and pissing everyone else off by getting in the way.

Enough rambling. It is 20* outside and snowing so off I go for a nice drive.
