[TheForge] OT - The science of driving.

[Lynn Emrich]

Andy and all,
I should keep my opinions to myself but:
Punishment or threat of punishment is not always the
answer. I think it was 17th century England where
stealing a handkerchief was punishable by hanging
didn't't change the behavior of the thieves. Look at
the present drug "war." Are we making progress on that
or the murders?
Opening mouth again, Lynn
