If the typical Americans driving skills are an indicator of hand/eye coordination, no wonder there's the motto is "In God We Trust"!

Most Americans I know are far better shots than they are drivers.

izibear]That's the difference between the US folk and the rest of the world.
They fought for freedom from tyranny and have tended to resist government interference in their personal lives ever since.
Can you tell me how there is less "government interference" in the U.S., than, say, in England, France, Australia, Sweden, and Papua New Guinea?
What do you think is the reason for the Second Amendment?

Likewise, if something does happen to me or my family, I'd hope someone would learn from it to help others.
BTW - this is NOT about MY family.... this discussion is about if we can implement something that may be deemed to be Big Brother but the net result is better than without it, when do we draw the line?
