That's all I'm talking about. Own up to your responsibility.
RARELY IS ANYTHING AN ACCIDENT, LOTS OF NEGLIGENCE.
Our society has been so car-centric and car-priority for so
long, that anything otherwise is almost like being a socialist
in the 1950's. "EVERYONE SHOULD JUST DRIVE A CAR, don't ruin it
by trying to be 'different'". A sheep mentality, undoubtedly.
But the operation of a car is seen as a right, a passage, part
of the American way. What falls out of view it seems, is that I
HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT BE HIT BY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT BEING
RESPONSIBLE WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL. Take this seriously people!
Hope that you hit me hard enough that I can't get back up to
shove that cell phone so far that the doctor decides you can
just continually ring 'la vida loca' for the rest of your life.
Way too often people loosely throw out the term 'accident'.
WAS IT? REALLY? Hate to summon that sue happy New Yorker in me,
but I would quickly say, RARELY are there just 'accidents'.
If I went to the top of a twenty story building, went out to the
edge of the roof, and put a bowling ball on the edge and
proceeded to roll it along, WELL I NOW HAVE TAKEN ON A BIG.....
RESPONSIBILITY! And if my phone rang while I was rolling this
ball along the edge, and I MADE THE DECISION to answer it,
thus diverting my attention.....
IS IT REALLY AN ACCIDENT THAT THE BALL FELL OFF THE ROOF AND
KILLED SOMEONE JUST WALKING BY?
People need to start loosing their licenses! Actually, every
person should have to ride a bike for a year or two before
getting their license, maybe that will change things.
(sign removed from the ghost bike I pass daily)
And if you do hit me, and they put up a ghost bike for me....
Don't be such a narrcicistic jerk as to post a sign in your
'unnamed driver' defense, even if it was 'my bad'.
