Please Stop and listen for a moment - as many of you sanction road rage as something that's understandable and has become necessary to fear. How complacent we've become in the face of this completely unnecessary venting of one's angers against society on one another... the real topic here is not the Parkway (which by the way I support, because I can hear, smell and cough from it), but road rage a.k.a. reckless and aggressive driving at speeds that exceed the speed limit without regard to the detrimental affects on the surroundings or consideration of the others with whom one is sharing the road... Anger on the road, from the 'security' of ones vehicle should NEVER be acceptable. I don't care what the person in the car in front of you is doing. Take a deep breath, slow down and realize that, in the long ,run you will get to your destination safely which is why you left your home in the first place. Still driving the speed limit in many a neighborhood in St. Paul and around town.

Might be better put to say that this kind of immature driving may cause other immature drivers to compete for the title of "most excerebrose driver on the road" which if road conditions in the metro are a measure must be a highly coveted award. I think that the tactics described here are a measure of just how small some of our lives have gotten. Lighten up! Enjoy life! T.
