Yeah , Dwight , there is a principal we all know as "assumption of risk"...




Yep! I know "we all know" about that, Wade, however I sometimes wonder IF we remember this simple principle, especially whenever somebody posts one of these "It isn't fair that this motorcyclist died today" sort of threads and the reactions I read in those threads around here about it.

That was my point.

As the old sayin' goes..."You can be dead right about somebody taking your right-of-way away from you, BUT you're still DEAD!" And so, we must ALWAYS assume EVERYBODY on the road is a friggin' moron!!!

(of course, this mindset will tend to make one a bit of a cynical ol' misanthrope, but AT LEAST a LIVE cynical ol' misanthrope, ya know!)

(and BTW Wade...there must be some problem with PayPal lately, as I STILL haven't received that royalty payment from you as of yet!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
