tired of dodging aggressive drivers in a hurry to get nowhere yesterday.

Look,I got hit by a car a few years ago crossing the road,the asshole didn't see me,and I never saw him, 'cause he didn't have his headlights on.Irresponsible fuck head fucked me up.I was walking slowly across the road with an ex boyfriend hand in hand,he was just a step in front of me,we both thought the coast was clear. I was hit, I flew ,and my body is messed up now.Years later my neck is growing bone spurs, my legs go numb if I sit certain ways, and my back aches alot.I got a form of arthritis from the force of the impact. The fucker that hit me was a cab going 45 mph,and the speed of that road was like 25 mph..That incident will haunt me the rest of my days.Nothing was changed until An orioles players son got hit on the same road I did,like 6 months or so later.Poor kid was killed.
So yeah you bet I'm frustrated with car culture and the hurry up mentality is has engendered in people,the careless oblivion and selfishness.. I propose an improvement that could start now, states quit building roads(the fill up as soon as they are made btw) and shift it to better quality mass transit,sidewalks everywhere,bike trails,public rest stops so walkers can hit the bathroom get water or sit down,less sprawl, and a slower pace to live our lives within. To have this change people first must demand real corporate responsibility to the communities instead of corporations and greedy developers controlling communities,as in people demand they all cut the fucking greed out,quit playing games and give workers time off,good wages,real european style vacations,full benefits and a bit of slack to allow for a less hurried rushed be there yesterday attitude that is for the most part is the cultural submission of humanity to the shortsighted ambition of profit hungry abusive businessmen....It takes a bit of time to take a bus or walk,a car is not the solution,stopping corporate greed and abuse is.

I wish people would slow down,be careful and relax.
