   Excerpt from CJ:  "our slug can't hear anything. but even if they could, it's MY vehicle. i paid for it, i pay to insure it and fuel it up and maintain it. you don't like my choice of radio station? drive your own car. pissant."

	Response:  Good for you.  Now go over to the main line where you belong -- your own bubble.

	Whatever happened to the guy who used to play books-on-tape all the way home? He would start the trip home by announcing his "daily selection." He especially liked books that dramatized historic wars and battles, which I found quite nice for sleeping on the ride home!

First off ceejay2 said that not me (details matter) and second if you think that someone who is paying for the gas, maintenance etc of the vehicle in which you are getting a free ride in, should kowtow to you then YOU need to get on the freaking bus. Having been a slug, driver, and bus rider, I can say by far slugs have it best. CJ

	quote: Originally posted by GoBlue I recall a time when I was driving to Silver Springs and so I picked up slugs. I like to listen to books, so I saved a Hemingway novel for the trip back. Well this happened to be the one Hemingway novel that I know of in which his protagonist uses some racist rants against blacks. I had just picked up 2 passengers (both black) when I heard the first use of that particular word. I was paying more attention to my driving so I wasn't sure I heard it correctly. Then out it came again! I quickly switched to a different cd and while nothing was said, I was very embarrassed. Now, I could have asserted the "My car, my rules" attitude, but come on, it doesn't hurt to be civil. And, I would have switched it off for any race of riders. When I pick books to hear, I consider the material. I'm not trying to please everyone, I'm just trying to consider not being offensive. You commuted to FL every day?

	Nope. What you're describing is a classic: the kid who takes HIS football and goes home because the other kids won't play by his rules. boo hoo. So there. Now no one can play. Get it now?

Now no one can play. Get it now? I got your stupid remark the first time, but the salient points you missed are (1) the rules are common slugging rules not mine and (2)regardless of whether it's a football or a car, if you're using someone else's stuff, you should be respectful and appreciative and not a know-it-all jerk who thinks he/she is entitled to use either.

	Now, Now. My stuff, my rules is your message. Since we live in these here United States of America, I accept your opinion, but at the same time I can disagree with it. Sooooo, I disagree. If you are unable to pick up slugs because the slugs disappeared, you'd end up on the main line anyway -- paying for it in more ways than one. [^]
