Every time I drive to school in the morning I am faced with a menacing situation that causes drivers to slam on their brakes, stop suddenly in the middle of a busy highway or crawl along at 30 mph below the posted speed limit. No, I am not talking about a massive fruit truck disaster. I am talking about school buses and school zones. I hate school buses and school zones. There is no reason whatsoever that there should ever be a school bus stop on a major four-lane highway. There is even less reason why that bus stop should be followed by another bus stop thirty feet down the road. These kids can’t walk fifteen feet each and meet in the middle? They have to be picked up at the terminus of their driveway. Ridiculous. You can’t even go around the stupid thing. I have to stop my vehicle, even in the other lane, for this bus stop. At a grown up bus stop, the bus itself doesn’t even come to a stop sometimes. Forget about the other cars stopping.

If those of us who chose to reproduce took any responsibility for themselves and their children, they would teach the little parasites to stay out of the road and look both ways before running out into a highway. Then everyone else wouldn’t need to adjust their lives to accommodate other peoples’ unwillingness to teach their children. Kids should learn to be responsible for themselves. There won’t be any school bus to protect them when they are older, and they will have no idea that the whole world doesn’t stop just so that they can cross the street.

We are turning our children into a bunch of wimpy, slack-jawed mouth breathers who can not even avoid being hit by a car while standing on the side of the road. A bunch of babies who can not even walk across the street without every single car in both directions coming to a complete halt. Why should I put myself at risk of being rear ended by some careless moron who doesn’t see all the unnecessarily stopped vehicles in front of him? I have no vile little progeny running around not knowing how to cross a damn street. Why should I have to alter my life to make space for other people’s untrained idiot children?

And school zones are even worse. By the time the brats are in the school zone there are government subsidized babysitters running around telling the little morons what to do. Yet, everyone still has to go real slow just in case one of the wee beasties breaks free and chases its imaginary friend on to the road. If that happens, it should be the baby sitters’ problem, not my problem. The road is for cars, not kids. If your babysitters are inadequate, then large fences should be erected to prevent such an occurrence, preferably electric.

It is things like school zones that stop the good work of evolution. Can’t cross a street correctly? You deserve what’s coming to you. Get out of my gene pool, you are peeing in it.
