Rants

I would not get TOO excited over James Starks running last week. I feel all it does is make the Falcons more aware of the running game. I doubt Starks will be that much of a factor this Saturday night! For one thing last week he was going against a team that was intent on stopping the pass - they had no idea the Packers actually had a running back on the team.

and when you look at Starks numbers - he really was not all THAT good! He had 57 yards on three runs and the other 19 runs he averaged less then Jackson. But - it does give the Dirty Birds something to think about.

I see Janesville has outlawed the smoking of synthetic Marijuana. What the hell is that? What about eating synthetic food - I would not want to eat or smoke either one. Then there is the Doctor that is giving Gabrielle Gifford a 101% chance of surviving.

Does trauma chief Dr. Peter Rhee actually understand what 100% means? And that 101% is like turning up the volume to 11 on a 1 to 10 scale? Was she smoking synthetic marijuana when she made that comment? Or was she just trying to dummy it up so us normal people can understand.

Then there is this whole crosswalk deal. I really dislike this law and from what I have read it is pretty useless.

In States where they have had crosswalk laws for 10 years, while pedestrian deaths have fallen, crosswalk deaths have stayed exactly the say - no change.

It's a law that confuses everyone and it's never enforced. I see people walking against red lights, I see cars stopping on green lights, I see cars screeching to a halt and being rear ended and I see pedestrians walking out in front of traffic daring to be hit!

Stupid stupid law. If it was enforced that would be another thing but to make a law and then not enforce it, it is causing more harm then good!

Did you know that motorists have to give livestock the right-away?

346.21 Right-of-way of livestock.

The operator of a motor vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to livestock being driven over or along any highway but any person in charge of such livestock shall use reasonable care and diligence to open the roadway for vehicular traffic.

Of course there is that law in Minnesota

Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head. . . .so . . .be careful out there!
