Hmmm... so you're still pining for the slimy, pathologically-lying dirtbag
who once actively PROTESTED democracy? Typical Yankee, I guess... ;) And as
for Stan's generalization, I'm (unfortunately) inclined to agree with him.
Those of us who live in areas of high (native) Hispanic residency live in
constant fear of a traffic-related "incident." I have several
acquaintences(sp?) who have been involved in accidents with Mexican drivers
lacking both a license and insurance. I was involved in an accident two
years ago in which a Hispanic woman failed to yield at an intersection and
broadsided a Jeep Wrangler that ultimately spun into the front of my
vehicle, which was at a complete stop at the same intersection. The woman
did have insurance, but subsequently filed bodily injury claims against the
other driver's and MY insurance company! Brother. So, while generalities are
often a bad policy, they are often based in fact, and also may apply to a
specific area of the country more than another. And with that said, I'm off
to up my Uninsured Motorist coverage...
