Road Rage

Road rage  happens when people's emotions affect  their driving. Sometimes it's harmless like yelling threats  or giving the finger. Or it can escalate to  things like following too close, laying on the horn or jamming on the brakes.

Road rage can be a stomach turner when it gets violent and people pull out their weapons, this is when somebody could lose a loved one. Road Rage has to stop before this happens.

People need to get a grip on themselves and grow up! If we have a friend who is in a rage, we need to talk them down. Finally, I think we should have cameras across the U.S. to identify the worst cases and get them off the road.

My Train Story...

I have taken many forms of transportation, bicycle, car, van, bus and planes. By far, my favorite form of transportation is the train.  I like the train because it is relaxing and fast.

For people whose disabilities won’t allow the operation of a car, it’s the faster way to travel.  As a taxpayer, citizen and consumer, I believe trains, like Chicago’s Rapid Transit, are the most efficient, cleanest ride.

I asked her about them. She explained that she was selling them for her granddaughter’s soccer team. I asked, “how much?” ...

I support Congress passing an Immigration bill that gives the  young adult " Dreamers" a path to citizenship. These people deserve respect and  should  not be underestimated  for their  contribution to our country.

Abuse & Neglect of the Disabled

Abuse can be social, like a verbal put down,  physical, like hitting or kicking, emotional, like yelling or threats, or even sexual, like harassment or assault. Neglect can be as simple as ignoring someone or isolating them. More terrible is failing to provide a disabled person basic needs like food or medicine or clothing or housing. Abuse and neglect of the disabled is wrong. It is also against the law. It's pathetic and it turns my stomach! If you, or someone you know in Illinois is being abused, call 866-800-1409.
