32. I'm sorry to learn that you hate me because I drive a car.
I guess it doesn't matter that I'm *VERY* considerate of *EVERYONE*, and that includes, or maybe I should say, it's PREFERENTIAL towards pedestrians.

I, also, get road raged while I'm driving. I get driven off the road often by some of the same idiots, but... I guess that doesn't count?

If I didn't have a car now, I'd wouldn't have a place to sleep, so I would have done myself in long ago. Would that matter?

So, hate cars all you want, but remember that there ARE some of us who are still considerate, and .... even give pedestrians rides.

Or, lump us all together, if that really makes you feel better.

:( :( :( :( :( :(
