getting knocked out of your limits

My theory on driving in traffic is quite simple: Think of traffic as a
stream of water. As part of it, you either contribute to the flow or
obstruct it.

Things like braking because others don't know how to merge is obstruction.
Stay off yer goddam brakes. If newcomers to the flow refuse to merge, they
should be allowed to run off into the weeds. 75 cars behind you will
continue smoothly on their way.

 

I am not sure what your laws are in the States, but his new handle
would qualify as hate literature in Canada.

 

Mr. Kettle is in a meeting, can I take a message?

I have a lot of time and patience, and no personal involvement.

It's society that wants you to conform, not me, but how will society
ever notice your non-conformity before you do something really wrong
that harms somebody, or you harm yourself in a desperate gesture?

This speeding and lane-splitting and hit-and-run is small potatoes,
but your attitude toward what you're doing reveals that you think you
have the right to behave outside of societal rules.

That in itself makes you queer.

Queers have extreme ego strength and for a permanent psychological
change to be effected, the queer's personality must be broken down.

Then someone has to act as a surrogate parent to keep guiding the
queer along
a productive path.

The surrogate parent may be a psychiatrist, probation officer, or
parole board. But nobody really wants to adopt you and act as a loving
parent.

And, no matter how much you love and treasure and coddle your own
inner child with your immature fantasies of being some kind of super
hero, all such self-indulgence is inherently masturbatory.

You really need to connect to a real significant other person to
stabilize your life and guide you.

But, I do not want to be your mentor.

And you have to *want* to change. It's your life. It's your decision.

You can choose to stay queer, or you can move on.

 

Damn! The Canadian governments were the last bastion of North American
sensibility but no more, it appears.

 

Very well put.

Not often enough to suit me.

 

I once heard City Council described as an entity for one day a week
(the day Council sits). For the rest of the week they are just
fourteen people with an opinion.

 

That's not what your mother said last night.
She also said I was a much bigger man than her son....

 

The abnormal queers are those who refuse to TRIM YOUR QUOTES!

 

I lane split across the Bay Bridge every weekday, both ways. I've been
doing this for approx. 10 years. I've never gotten a ticket or crashed
doing this.

I ride as if my fellow motorists are really out to get me, and NEVER
assert my place on the road where I'd be 'dead right'. Life's too
short to get aggravated in traffic, that's why you have a motorcycle
and split lanes.

She's full of something, all right...

 

Be careful how deep you step into this mess. Montana, blessidly far less
traffic congested than California, allows you to drive in *any* lane for
*any* distance. This includes the shoulder lane. The very rare exceptions
are in passing lanes on two-lane highways and over the steepest of mountain
passes on the Interstate.

 

When you gonna break the news to "Deaf" about this argument she's been
having?

 

Tim?? You created Reeky?? I had no idea!!!

 

Are you saying his momma don't know who da baby daddy is?

 

And where, exactly, do you drive? And how often have you tried this
strategy while riding instead of driving?

 

The fact that you say something doesn't make it true. Since your
claimed driving record suggests that you don't often drive in any kind
of real traffic one must take your assertions with a large does of
salt, "motorcycle rider".

Riding a motorcycle at all is taking a chance you don't need to take.
And unless you are lying, you choose to.

And personally I don't choose to lane split because it is unlawful to
do so here. That does not make it unsafe.

 

Oh, how cute, a little boy and his sock puppet.

 

Show me one example of me trolling.

 

Not only that, I alos created the Sheriff. Well, no, actually, I
didn't. But I've made him much more powerful than he ever would've
been without me!

 

Good thing, too. Based on your description of traffic, you are simply
no longer up to it. You've made the right decision as a mature
driver.
