Tonight driving up a hill a person chose to excessively speed down it. We were in a residential neighborhood. "Slow down dickwad," I said. Somewhat like my former Governor as captured here.

woops. Silence and then from the backseat.
"Are you going to call that guy dickwad?" from my 3 year-old.
"Dickwad guy," he repeated.
I paused not sure what to say, then answered,
"No, I'm not going to do that."
My 3 year-old said, "He's going to go to jail."
That was all that was said. My son obviously got the point that I was frustrated by yet another human choosing to drive excessively fast.
The person of course won't go jail. Maybe he will one day get into a crash and kill himself or someone else. I wonder if he will feel cool then?
I can hardly imagine that situation feels anywhere near cool.
Speaking of dickwads look up #drivesafe on Instagram and there are a lot of people who think it is funny to show themselves clearly not driving safely.
What if a pilot did this? What if it was of someone drunk driving? Distracted driving and driving dangerously should be penalized. Those videos should be yanked off of Instagram. They are irresponsible.
Are there Instagram pictures and videos of people yielding guns and laughing? Eh, maybe, I'll go Google that.
