Its so bizarre how people on this ng make sweeping general comments. Aunt
Millie calls everyone who disagrees with her a 'criminal coddler', and now
you're calling me a supporter of criminals because LLB's are supposedly
performing an injustice.

I agree that in some situations, when you are being injusticed, rage is
justified.  I also agree that LLBs are wrong. However unjust doesn't mean
wrong, and LLBs are not performing any injustice to you. Now people will
spout examples about emergencies, babies being born in the back seat, etc.
But if you get stuck behind an LLB for a stretch of highway and it take a
few minutes out of your commute, that does NOT justify road rage. One act of
irrationality doesn't justify another.
