Reckless, Aggressive Drivers: Homegrown Terrorists

To clarify, that "commute" was on a Sunday. They usually schedule
maintenance for weekends. On weekdays during rush hours (which now
total eight hours a day) Metro is expensive to ride and very crowded,
but it will generally get you to your destination in a reasonable
amount of time.

The most common reason for *unscheduled* delays is an abandoned
package. And such packages are almost never reported during rush
hours, since it's so crowded there's always someone near any package.

Of course if terrorists *did* want to sent off a bomb in Metro, they
would obviously do so during rush hours, to maximize the body count.
So asking passengers to report abandoned packages is completely useless.

I live in the Appalachians (Appalacia 'R Us) and get to drive
through the Catskills and the Adirondacks on a fairly regular bases.
Who could ask for anything more.

I can. I want to live near friends, family, employment, and shopping.
And I don't want to be dependent on a car and a license to get
anywhere. Remember, driving is a privilege, not a right. The state
can revoke your license at any time.
