Road Safety... The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were: "Oh, Shit!" Only the state of Texas was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!" Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man. Friedrich Nietzsche All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair. Edmund Burke He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. Friedrich Nietzsche The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently. Friedrich Nietzsche
