HOV stupidity
The folks who are crying and whining about the empty HOV lanes are the very reason these lanes were created. The self-centered, spoiled and selfish folks who insist on driving one to a car and never putting themselves out for anyone else deserve to be stuck in gridlock traffic. This overweening me-first-ism is driving our whole country down the tubes in a very ugly fashion.
I really hate the behavior of drivers in Dallas who seem to consider driving to be a competitive sport instead of a means of getting people from one place to another. When I drive the speed limit on I-20, I nearly get run over from behind. When I get to 635, the pace really picks up, with folks driving like lemmings late to the sea. I pray a lot.
The whole Dallas transportation system, with the exception of the hgh-occupancy lanes, is designed to cater to childish selfishness. Dallas is destined to remain a collection of individual egos instead of a working community. How sad.
