This state should seriously consider a maximum age for drivers.

Ooh. Duuuuh. I suppose they're driving giant cadillacs, too?

My grandparents have NO buisness driving. They even went and took their old people driving test (I think you have to do it at 70) and PASSED! There is no way! I should start an elderly dial-a-ride to take old people grocery shopping and stuff like that.

btw, why is Starbucks evil? I wanna know!! :)

B/c they are are every other street corner (not joking) and they purposely set up new shops near other smaller, locally owned coffee shops that have been there for years. And they over roast their beans.

all true. but people still go there in masses. so yeah. i wish i came up with something that brilliant!

I'm sure they're evil for more reasons than what I listed.

anyone that makes money is evil. everyone bitches that they are being held back from being rich but when people like Sam Walton and whom ever owns Starbucks gets rich, all of a sudden they are evil. Pfft. More power to them. No one is forcing me to use their product.

Spicy'll talk herself into libertarianism yet. ;)
