redneck drivers

   I was so mad this morning after I got out at the Pentagon.  This dude had the Johnny Cash or somebody cranked up the whole ride, then when he pulls off I see a he had a confederate flag in the back window of his pickup.  Isn't that flag illegal to have on a military base?  I can't imagine what people thought of me seeing me riding around like that.

	If you see the guy again, tell him how offended you were and ask for a refund of the money you paid him for the trip.

He should be ashamed of himself riding around like that.

	All in all though, you got where you were going and got to listen to some good music too. There's a lot about others we may not like and bashing doesn't really solve much. Aren't we supposed to embrace the diversity of America? NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

	HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!! What about the people who BLAST the gospel? Or the crackling WTOP news?? OR OR... when the AC is so high, you have frost on your nose hairs??? Here we go with more rants. I'm from the north, and the confederate flag is a sign of racism to me, I think I would have passed on that ride- if it were me. Next time you should take a quick second(if you can) and look before you accept a ride. :'}

	Cool GMHP! Yeah, do a walk around of the vehicle to make sure there's NOTHING that offends you. Check the trunk too (never know what lurks there). Once you get in have a thorough briefing for the trip, describing what's expected (e.g. A/C, musical/entertainment preferences, conversational limits, whatever). How hard can we make this? Enjoy life folks. Embrace the experiences! NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

	Am I the only one who read the original post as either tongue in cheek humor or an Internet troll just looking to agitate? There's a reason these incendiary posts tend to come from new users, I'm thinking.....

People can only embrace diversity or open mindedness if it meets with THEIR particular viewpoints. Jeez. -------- 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Funny, I've never been in a motorcycle only traffic jam!
