The Bill Clinton factor?.
What's the cure for road rage?A good start would be to require those over the age of 55 to retake a driver's test. Majority of the time I get frustrated while driving, it is because some ancient citizen can no longer handle driving a motor vehicle.
-Casey, Hubbell, Michigan
That's easy Jack! Price gas so high that no one can afford to drive anymore...No wait! They did that and it ain't working either!
-Gerald, Blackwater, MissouriJack, After over 50 years of driving, it's clear to me that as long as people don't suffer significant penalties for road rage incidents, they will continue to take their life's frustrations out on anonymous strangers. 30 days in the local jail for a first offense would eliminate most such behavior fast.
-DickWe need to have a way to end the anger 90% of our citizens feel. It shows up when some jerk cuts you off, or pulls in front of you and slows down to 25 in a 40 MPH zone. Maybe we should give everybody a mental test when they apply for a driver's license.
-Ed, Phoenix, ArizonaThe first thing not to do is confront the psycho. Call their license plate number in to law enforcement, if at all possible. If they're following you, don't go home. Go to the police station.

Who do you think is best prepared for a natural disaster: your family, local emergency agencies or the federal government?I believe our local agencies are best prepared with the experience and equipment. After Bush as governor, we have plenty of equipment and because this is Florida, plenty of experience. What's bad is several federal agencies are trying to give directions to work they know little about. You listen to them because they've got all the funds.
-Bill, Leesburg, FloridaI have no plans to count on my government, federal or local for anything...My family and I have worked out our own emergency plans and in Texas that includes evacuation plans, food, water and bullets.
-Jake, Flower Mound, Texas No matter how ready someone is, no one is ever fully ready. A disaster is something you can prepare for but not control. That is why they call it a disaster.
-William, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Jack, The question is an easy one to answer. If we look at the past, it is simple: we can only rely on ourselves.
-Merrill, Redding, CaliforniaIf the U.S. leaves, will Iraq become a "terrorist Disneyland"?To put it simply, Iraq already is a "terrorist Disneyland". Leaving Iraq now is simply cutting our losses. Iraqi civil war is the problem of the Iraqi people, not the American people.
-William, Indianapolis, Indiana
No. And they won't follow us home, either. Before the U.S. invaded Iraq, terrorism was not a problem in Iraq... It will not become a "terrorist Disneyland" if our troops leave because the Iraqis don't want them in their country anymore than we want them in our country. The Iraqis will fight 'em there so we don't have to fight 'em here.
-Jenny, Nanuet, New YorkI suspect that when the U.S. leaves Iran will take over the region and probably kick al Qaeda out of Iraq. It will probably turn out like Vietnam after the U.S. pulled out.
