POLITICS: Killer Electric Cars?

(watch video first)



I completely agree. The first step should be to get rid of all these "silent but deadly" cars that do nothing but save the environment, then we should paint lanes by intersections where people can walk (kind of like a safe zone or something), and then we should invent some sort of device blind people can use like a stick or something. One study shows that the amount of blind people killed by hybrid/electric cars outnumbers those killed by cancer, aids, and bird flu combined annually since 1904. In fact do me a favor and count to 6...............another visually impaired person just got killed by a hybrid. Simply astonishing.

Scenario - Blind person walking on road in downtown city. Blind person comes to intersection and waits to hear noise to walk. Blind person starts walking WHAMMY!!!! a killer hybrid picks off another one. An epidemic to say the least.

Am I missing something here? The problem with energy efficient cars is that they are too quiet? This is borderline ridiculous...I mean, the point of these cars is to reduce pollution, both air and noise, right? What's next, a bill proposing electric cars don't use enough gas? I mean do these people not expect there to be cars on the street? Shocking, you are walking in the city and there are cars on the road. Total fuckin mindblow. Hey, I can't see, so I'm just gonna wander in the middle of the street and if someone hits me it's the cars fault for not being loud enough.

There are approximately 1.3 million Americans who are legally blind. There are about 36.5 million Americans who live below the poverty threshold. Let's pass bills to "help" the blind but deny bills to help families and children who live in poverty. Hmmmm....

If black and white people can learn to get along (I'm talking about the civilized North), then I imagine that hybrids and blinds can learn to do the same. And for all you rednecks who are in love with your cousins and obnoxiously loud 48 wheel trucks cuz they have room for your shotguns, white hoods, and Earnhardt stickers...your opinion doesn't matter here, and it shouldn't matter in the real world.
