Swinging my club in this right hand I knocked him Out of his car, and he rolled on the ground. I killed him.... I killed them all. - Sophocles, Oedipus Rex, 430 BC You're on your brand new Super Moto bike and you want to go for a ride. You call up your friend, and you meet for coffee. You talk about your new KTM and how fast and fun it is, how it will give you an edge over the plodding, inattentive masses in their Volvos, rental cars and SUVs. You roar around the car on the shoulder of the road, scream a few choice obscenities at the girls and do a wheelie around the bend. You head out to the beach, the thumper's motor roaring in your ears and the cool salty air filling your lungs. As you come up to a stop sign, two young women in a sedan hesitate in front of you, looking at the water. You honk at them, and one of them waves a saucy middle fing...

Comment on Road Rage or Sudden Jihad Syndrome? by Janet Reno
2008-03-31 14:57:00 Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton. The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions. Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats. http://www.halliburtonwatch.org-/ Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports. Now we see what some might su...

7 ways to avoid road rage - part 2
2007-10-17 14:33:00 As promised, this is the second and final part of my blog entry entitled "7 Ways to Avoid Road Rage". The first four points covered in Part One are:1. Be courteous.2. Observe traffic rules.3. Always signal your intentions.4. Don't tailgate.Here are the remaining tips:5. Observe the proper parking lot etiquette. - This is one of the most important tips to remember, since a lot of people have died just because of parking lot scuffles. Some of the parking lot rules of thumb to consider are: observe the first-come-first-served basis; if a space opens up, turn on your signal light to the direction where the parking space is to indicate your intentions, in turn, drivers who see this should understand not to take that space; when a parking space suddenly opens up behind you, don't back up anymore and just move on; and stick to the lane you are in and try not to get too greedy with the area you are surveying.6. Watch your high beams. - When driving at night, nothing pisses me off more tha...

2007-10-16 17:20:00 What's the popular buzzword nowadays? The term "road rage" is one of the most popular terms being used today in the Philippines, particularly in Manila. This is mainly because of the recent spate of unfortunate road rage-related crimes happening across the metropolis.

pasig road rage: lawyer suspect released on bail
2007-10-05 17:37:00 Manuel Hernandez Jr, the lawyer suspected of shooting down and killing Kay Palmero and Ed Canizares after a traffic altercation, has been granted bail this afternoon, October 5th. This was after the Pasig City Prosecutor's Office agreed to downgrade the charges against Hernandez from two counts of murder to two counts of homicide, which made him eligible for bail.The suspect was therefore released on bail after posting PhP 80,000, and upon receipt by the Pasig City police of the release order given by Pasig City Regional Trial Court Executive Judge Amelia Manalastas.This new development has raised a lot of issues especially since Hernandez works for Pasig City Hall as a legal officer.There won't be anything much for us to do but wait and, as good citizens, presume that the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in court (if there will ever be a trial) no matter how damning the evidence may be (like several eyewitnesses). But let's just hope and pray that the truth comes out and ...

pasig road rage: justice and peace for ed and kay
2007-10-02 19:24:00 An extremely sad and unfortunate event happened yesterday. Two colleagues of mine, Ed Canizares and Kay Palmero, died yesterday afternoon, October 2nd, from several gunshot wounds from a 9mm pistol fired by a certain Atty. Manuel Hernandez Jr. after a traffic altercation in Pasig City. I was really dumbstruck when I heard of the sickening news since I was still able to strike up a conversation at work with Ed that morning before he left. What's ironic is that he had just celebrated his birthday the day before (October 1st) and that he had just picked up Kay who arrived from Singapore for his birthday celebration scheduled this week.I've come to realize that when tragic things happen to people you barely know, the typical response would be to feel sorry for the person, followed by a shake of the head, a shrug of the shoulders and finally, indifference. But when that same thing happens to relatives, friends and people close to you, that's when reality hits home - where it suddenly ...

Road Rage : The Fast Track to Death
2007-07-10 12:42:00 Delhi ’s ex chief minister, Sahib Singh Verma is the latest in a fairly long line politicians who have died in road accidents in recent years. Off hand, I can recall Madhav Rao Scindia, Rajesh Pilot, Lok Sabha Speaker Balayogi, Haryana Minister, O.P.Jindal and former President Giani Zail Singh. Then of course there are many, many more who sustain injuries and there names are too numerous to recount. However Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee is a name one can recall from very recent times. It makes me wonder why is it that politicians are so vulnerable to accidents and collisions. Do they have some particular kind of death wish that bewitches them? Or is it that they are happening all the time and to every body – it is just that we get to hear about them only when a celebrity, particularly a politician passes away this way. Or is that their lives and tragically their deaths represent the collective wish of the times – wanting to be every where and all at once at the very same...

Road rage survey singles out cabbies
2007-04-28 14:14:00 Taxi Council The Taxi Council of Queensland says the state's cab drivers have been singled out in a national study on road rage. The survey of more than 5,000 people found more than 70 per cent believe taxi drivers are inconsiderate of other road users and drive recklessly. Taxi Council CEO Blair Davies says the results are surprising. "A lot of road users are subject to abuse from other road users, I'm not sure exactly why they've picked on taxi drivers," he said. "Certainly we're possibly seen as an easy mark, a very identifiable group on the road and it is a little bit surprising." The survey also shows 50 per cent of cab drivers use offensive language. Mr Davies says being a professional driver is a stressful occupation. "It's very discouraging when we see these sorts of survey reports, but we have to acknowledge that it's a very stressful job driving a cab and evidently some people find our cabbies can be aggressi...
