Geeez...a cell phone, gps, blabbing friends, blaring tunes...Hope your
insurance is paid up. Oh, and please tell us where she will be driving, so
we can get the hell out of the way.

JR,

You seem to have an absence of faith in our youth. Say it ain't so. I'll
bet you were young once.

Yeah, I sure was. I started driving at 13, Had 16 tickets by the time I
was 17. Was on a first-name basis with the two local fuzz that kept
busting me (Kunkel and Deloren-good title for a shoot-em-up cop
show...). I was, and am an exceptionally competent driver, just lacked
self restraint and maturity back then. In those times, no cell phones,
gps, dvd players, sub woofers or"1000 watt" sound systems. Just 100
octane gas, square turns and smoking rear tires.
I have an abundance of faith in our youth. But ADHP disorder and
electronic distractions have no place in a drivers mind, and
unfortunatly our current crop of youth suffer in overwhelming numbers
from both.

I'm glad you have faith in our youth. I've been coaching teens and
pre-teens for about 8 years and whenever I start to think we're all going to
hell I just have to think about the kids I coach and have coached to realize
there are a lot of great kids out there!

The media on the other hand makes it seem like soddom and gomorrah are upon
us.
