So I'll let this one slide (THIS TIME).
My thought is, you know, there are some REAL whackjobs out there. Some of them drive a car, some may be mentally ill, some may be carrying a piece (not pie either)...others, well...they just be Grade A genuine a-holes all the time or some may have a momentarily lapse into a-holeness as a result of coping with stresses of life in an unhealthy way.

At any rate...I'm not going to risk potential injury to myself, or worse, leave my wife a widow and my kids fatherless because of some 2-15 second event where I'm on a bike, someone acts like an a-hole in a car, and I reciprocate the other person's a-holeness. It just ain't worth it.
