There you go; that's their issue. Same reason they pray to have their football/baseball teams win a title, or that their 'boy' they follow in NASCAR pulls through and wins the race. Because they are oblivious to the fact they share the world with other people and the idea that praying for a sports team is just a little bit selfish/ludicrous NEVER crosses their mind. They are going about oblivious to the fact there are other people out there; just like those people that sit in the left lane of the interstate going 68 in a 65 and you honk and flash your lights and THEY get pissed off at YOU.
THEN they have the audacity to get all uppity on you and proclaim what an ingrate/punk/arrogant asshole YOU are for thinking that YOU own the road. Their whole sense of logic has been utterly f*ed since they were born unto the world and their similarly selfish, oblivious parents raised them in front of the television and allowed them to make excuses for the sad state of affairs in their life because it was somehow OTHER people's fault they broke that leg/didn't make that payment/got fired for mouthing off/had someone flip them off on the highway when they were just minding their business/wasn't botherin' NO-body, un-hunh, I reckon'.
Our country is great, unfortunately a majority of it's people have a BIG issue with personal responsibility and are always looking to someone else to blame/take the responsibility. Don't even get me started on raising emissions standards specifically because street racers street race, and they are USUALLY in high performance cars, and therefore by limiting the performance aspect of a performance car you've nipped it in the bud. A bit like making cigarettes illegal because they CAN (and do) cause cancer; that doesn't change the fact nobody ever MADE a person who got lung cancer from smoking smoke in the first place. Why do we need the government to cut back supposedly, "Violent," video games and then you can turn on the news and see people being blown up, shooting each other, any other number of horrible things to watch... Hell Resident Evil was on TV the other day and damn near uncut, and so WE opted to turn it off lest the 6 y/o watching TV with us be irreparably harmed for the next few weeks and we have to comfort her out of night terrors. Just TURN the channel I says, just PAY ATTENTION to your kids I says, just pay attention, in general, to life as much as we pay attention to the damned vile television.
Umm. I don't see any reason to continue, the point's in there, and more than likely as board populations go, I'm preaching to the converted and to the actual problem this is like farting in the wind.
Uh, yeah, so... Who agrees?

Sorry!
