Subject:Unsafe at any..(was Re: safe speeds)

History shows that there is really no speed that is
safe.
Even oxen travel is dangerous ( hear that Oxroad?)

You could be in your covered wagon,(original
Westfalia)
and the oxen could have a bad case of the bcraps in
front of you- now that's unsafe!!!! And at any speed
mind you.

So there you have it -the safest travel is: none at
all.
That's what I said!

Since we have evolved iron ore into particle
accellerators in the form of boxes on wheels that have
"made in Germany" stamped on them,

We have unwittingly become like atoms spinning around
the nucleus colliding into each other.

How does this all add up?
Statistically the numbers truly are decreasing as
fewer of us take to the hiways due to the fact that
fuel is costing us too much!!!

If we could re-invent the automobile then our vehicles
would be powered by trained animals that only
occasionally emit gas (there's your greenhouse gas ).

Ironically  we could have harnessed the power of
dinosoaurs had cave men left them alone,living animals
that could have made steam engines unecesscary.

History would  read that dinosaurs made the
transcontinental possible. , The buuilding of the
Empire State, the Egyptian Pyramids! Did I say that?

OK- so we have to drive something at some speed
relative to the total potential velocity indicated on
the speedometer within the law which is not
standardized and then expect everyone who drives to
comply.
Therefore you drive faster than your Vanagon
speedaometer reads as you know it is 2 mph slower than
actual.

There- I said it- i just had to get this out- thanks!
