Oh, I see.  So let me get this right.  If I'm parked in the parking lot, and
someone drives through and drills me, it's my fault, right, Dehsi?

Look, you can only prevent what you can control.  I can't control others
behavior.  I can control mine.  That's why the two accidents I've been in don't
affect my insurance at all.  Hey, you can only do what you can do.

If you think that by driving "safely" you can prevent all accidents, you're so
full of it that if I stuck a pin in you it'd spray diarrhea.

Get real, Dehsi.  One of this days, and I hope it's sooner rather than later,
you'll block someone who's prone to road rage, and he'll clip you when he cuts
you off.  That'll take your self righteous, sanctimonious ass down a peg or two.
