I still hate guns. <BR/><BR/>There is no going back when the trigger is pulled. Doing so needs considerable reflection and thought. Pulling one out in the heat of the moment is never a good idea.The Weary Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552156768798694105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136987847943346639.post-35525349295745720022008-06-16T18:40:00.000+07:002008-06-16T18:40:00.000+07:00Nah...I do not think that it does.

I look at the big signs on the side of the roads (normally toll roads) and the figures always seem so low in comparison to the figures I read in the paper.<BR/><BR/>Driving tests would be one way to reduce traffic congestion.
