Not long ago, I watched as a young woman tried to cross U.S. 41 with a baby in a stroller. 4 traffic lanes, 2 turn lanes and a median. No help from the traffic lights. No bus stops near by. Motorists were patient, and actually yielded to get her across safely.

Fix the price of gas at $3.50. Use the "profit" for something useful.

Gas guzzlers, SUVs in particular, and Tad's SUV especially, should be taxed off the road.
