A Shithole Then, & It Remains So

The "then" above being more or less the winter of 1970-71, when this reporter spent several yrs. in Houston (What. A. Dump.) Texas. (You dumb hicks have zoning laws down there yet?)

Out of Control

Houston’s roads, drivers are country’s most deadly

The risk surrounds us, moves with us, passes us. It follows us on the way to work, to school, to church*. We see it coming in the rear-view mirror.

A pickup plows into the back of a helpless car at 100 mph in northwest Harris County, killing two. A 17-year-old loses control on a narrow rural road in Fort Bend County, strikes a power pole and lands in a cornfield, pronounced dead at a hospital.

A driver doesn't stop after hitting and killing a woman standing on Texas 249. Two drivers collide head-on in Fort Bend County, killing both and sparking a five-car pileup. A motorcyclist exiting Loop 610 at Richmond dies after a BMW barrels into him and two other riders.

Duran Duran - "Warm Leatherette"Cars, guns, morons, Texans: Let's stop letting them kill us & outlaw them all!

*"To work, to school, to church.": What empty meaningless lives these fools lead! The corollary to which is, if these fucking morons' existences are the equivalent of drone insect life, what possible difference does it make if they are squashed like bugs on a windscreen, except on a slightly larger scale?
