Re: Almost Kissed His Ass Goodbye

Huffed and Puffed the following into the madness of usenet:

Let's create a moment - you Mack, if memory serves me correctly, you
have neuropathy in your legs from 30+ years of diabetes, and are also
blind in one eye. Do you think you could have reacted better than I
did? Do you think your one sighted eye could have seen him faster and
better than I can? Do you also think that your neuropathy would have
constricted you from hitting the brakes as fast as I did? In each
case, the logical answer is NO. You, Mack would have creamed the ol
guy. He was shielded by tall grass. If your answer to each question
is yes, then you must think you are superman, or your large ego is
doing your thinking.

well let's see, I don't speed. I slow down on blind curves and I keep
at least 2 full car lengths open ahead of me in heavy traffic, wider
is preferred at all times. However, the faster I go the wider the gap
between me and the vehicle in front of me. Simply because the faster
you go, the shorter your reaction time will become and the greater
your stopping distance will become. When the visual area in front of
me shortens, do to a blind curve, weather, etc, I slow down to
increase my reaction time and decrease my stopping distance. As my
visual and nerve problems progressed my defensive driving skills
improved and increased.

I am very much aware of the rights of others on the road. They have
just as much right to use the road as I do, and to get to and from
their destinations alive, as I do. And it doesn't matter if they are
in a car, truck, scooter, bicycle,or walking along the side the road.
I still respect them.


I expected total irrational hate/anger filled postings from fuckwits
like Rosenberg and Zoul since that is their daily mindset. Your
posting disappoints me.


You'll learn I do not post to please anyone. I like Ted, I know that
if I needed his advice the day after I called him an ass he would give
it. And I have called him an ass on more than one occasion. So you
don't like him or his personality, get over yourself.

But since you're disappointed, shall we ask the group? Can we all
give the alfa male a hug? Come on now, group hug. Make nice.
