Here in Oregon, statistics tell us that 2 out of 5 vehicles that you
encounter on the road have guns in them. Couple that with a high percentage
of Crazy Bas****s, and you have a recipe for disaster. Best to treat other
traffic like moving potholes, something to be avoided if possible, and that
is life in the 21st century.
