Thou Shalt Use Your Turn Signals

News out of the Vatican today is the release of 10 new commandments today, focusing on driving.

The "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed by the document, are:

1. You shall not kill.

2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.

3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.

4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.

5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.

6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.

7. Support the families of accident victims.

8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.

9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.

10. Feel responsible toward others.

I bet Hans trouble with number five. Might keep him from becoming catholic. God bless Henry VIII.

I've long thought that Jesus missed an oppurtunity at the Mount of Olives about the whole turn signal thing. Seriously people, they're right there. They're designed for your use. Let people know what you're doing with them, ok? The maw of hell awaits...

I feel sad, because there are so many nice people in Rhode Island, but it's a proven fact that they are the worst drivers in the country. To think they're all going to hell...

And I agree with your comment on Hans, except to add that if you drove his car, it would drive you to wickedness too. Every time I drive it, I feel myself getting more powerful and evil. It's just that fast and that good.
