*You know, I might have said you were correct... that it is a bunch of whining but over ten years ago, I was hit by a nonconformist making up their own driving rules which totaled my car, totaled my body and gave me about seven years of chronic pain. Now I am so sorry that I expected that driver to stop for the red light but I thought it was procedure and the LAW. How stupid of me to have expected a free spirit to be concerned about anyone else other than themself. Where is my cell phone...I will call that person next time I am driving and applaud their independency of laws, rules, concern, and intellect! Thanks for the enlightenment on behavior. In the mean time, if the light is red...stop. That is the law and whomever breaks it, hopefully, will get nailed to the tune of 200 bucks...socialist or not! Dorie Rae Gallagher Nokomis REMINDERS: 1.
