Cars Are Not As Important As People...At Least Not All People

I'm phenomenally tired of dealing with car crap. But I'm making progress. I've about decided it will be much smarter of me to invest almost $5K in my 1997 Avalon than to buy a new, or even a used, car. There's no assurance it will last, but I am going to hope...loudly and with passion...that it will.

My truck, on the other hand, is open to debate. I consider myself certifiably stupid for having bought it, at least without checking it out.

Now, as for people...most people for whom I have even the remotest respect do not proclaim their religious beliefs to the world. But those who do announce their religiosity piss me off. Increasingly so. So, I am at odds with Muslims...Christians...Jews...Hindus...etc. People who aggressively try to impose their religious views on the rest of the world should be stopped...whatever is necessary, it should be employed.

I am doing my best to be tolerant. But I am afraid religious zealots and bigots do not qualify for my tolerance. They are similar, in that sense, to bad cars.
