	Nothing wrong with the trucks using the road they paid for. Each truck
pays between $7000 to $9000 per year, per state, in "Highway Use Taxes".
You pay how much? 
	So if you think the truckers are driving like they own the road, you're
right, because they *do* own it! Their taxes paid for it, and pay for
maintaining it. You're getting a free ride! Just be glad they are
willing to share the freeways with you. They are earning a living out
there, and are delivering EVERYTHING you own, use, or consume. You are
probably just out there wasting gasoline on personal fun and games.
	Without trucks, America stops!

And stupidity in pursuit of selfish ideals is no excuse!

	You set yourself up, I just took the shot you offered to me!
