A speeding ticket for going 140 mph over the posted speed limit of 65 mph. 205mph? This guy must be an idiot. He was driving a motorcycle and at that speed one mistake and he would have been a grease spot on the highway. Some people have no sense of what is dangerous. Kind of like this guy and his elk buddy. The kicker to the motorcycle story is he wasn't licenesed to drive a motorcycle. Can you say stupid?
We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal. Carl Bernstein
