1. You can't save them all.

2. Ever lived in a neighborhood where it is a sport to drive up behind a cyclist riding the "right" way and knock his/her brains out with a baseball bat from the passenger seat? If you ever did, you would have better understanding of why some people ride against traffic.

3. And then there are the idiots who want to "see the car that kills them". Never thought of a mirror? That's why they call them idiots.

4. Thanks to long lines at the grocery and Social Security running out, I am happy that people smoke, ride against traffic, base jump, etc. Think of them as Population Control Volunteers.
