Haven’t read it, but i scanned the Q&A on Amazon’s page. This quote caught my eye:

Drivers all tend to think they are better than average.

I’ve actually pondered that before and i honestly think i’d be in the top 10% of drivers, at least (i’m definitely curious to find out for sure). I am firmly confident in my skills, but my justification is less about myself and more about the fact that i see so many drivers on the roads that are absolutely clueless.

This could easily become a very long post about driving, traffic, road laws, driver training and licensing in America… But i will leave it with saying that i’d like to read this book.

Because it doesn’t matter. Meteorologist Dr. William Gray calls Al Gore’s global warming movement garbage: the Earth is on a warming and cooling cycle, and the impact by humans is too small to have a global effect on the Earth [via Virginia]. I was never really convinced about the whole global warming thing—we’ll see who’s theories win in a couple of years.
