There's a terrible sense of dread filtering across America at the moment
and it's not simply because of the continuing fear of terrorism and the
fact
that
the nation is at war.
It's more frightening than that. It grows out of the suspicion that we all
may be passengers in a vehicle that has made a radically wrong turn
and is barreling along a dark road, with its headlights off
with someone behind the wheel who may not know how to drive.



Does the vehicle also have a stuck accelerator pedal, bad brakes, a broken
clutch, four bald tires and no seat belts? (if so, it sounds like an old
Ford station wagon I had when I was 18... )

I used to have a smoking Vega. Bad valve seats. It was fine when you went
down the road but if you stop at a light and take off it would smoke like a
*******. I used to always say " With a mighty rev of the engine and a puff
of smoke! Hi Ho Vega!!!" Then take off leaving everyone in the four way
intersections blinded and gaging from smoke. The whole car load off us kids
would be laughing like hell )
