Are Drivers Being Taught To 'DRIVE'?

I do not understand the thinking behind car manufacturers in this modern times.

On a good day the average driver is frightening. Now, we have these cars with more camera's than the royal wedding. Sensors that cause the driver to have a false sense of security. 

May be that I am just too ancient. Maybe not.

I cannot fathom the logic behind the need for a 'Blind spot sensor'. To me it will lead to lazy drivers who no longer take that millisecond to glance over their shoulder and properly check their blind spot.

What if the sensor malfunctions?

Then we have the 'parking assist' - WTF! If you cannot park you should not be in the drivers seat.
Add to this the newest doohickey - 'steering assist'. I am sure you have seen the commercial where the lady states, as she clicks yet another button, "Straight up the middle Big Guy?"

Again I say if you cannot drive in a straight line please, please take a bus!!!!

Next we have the 'back up camera's'. Personally, I have almost been run over many times in shopping mall parking lots by idiots who are glued to the seven-inch screen instead of just looking about their vehicle and backing out properly. Yes, I agree that these cameras are a useful tool. IF USED PROPERLY! But, humans are very lazy by nature. These devices give them a false sense of security. Few drivers understand that you still have to actually LOOK in conjunction with them. Even though in small print it tells you to be 'aware of your surroundings'.

Yep, I feel safe walking down my street or chancing a stroll through any parking lot.

AND DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT WHERE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS THE ASHTRAYS HAVE GONE. If I am going to be in a vehicle with a dummy driver I need to have a cigarette.

JUST SAYING ...................................

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “  living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
