Re: Don't get mad, get even.
Mike,
What you say is absolutely true and if we all abide by this simple
philosophy, these road rage things will almost be a treat for us !
(are you SURE you want to do that, sir?!?) If any of you want to do a
little reading about revenge, I suggest a little reading (FOR
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY) any book by a fellow named George Hayduke.
Terribly funny stuff. Now I don't recommend all these antics, because
some of these are ILLEGAL, but it is at least funny reading to hear
what people come up with. Like I said, FUNNY STUFF!!!!!
I do believe in not letting your emotions run your actions, so this
stuff you did was creative, and VERY effective in getting those who
are a risk to us and other drivers off these wonderful roads of ours!
Way to go, and let this be a sort of message to all of us!
