No, no...you're missing the point!  Think "Sturgis".  You know, where a 
bunch of motorcyclists come into his state and spend bunches of money?  
The tourist trade that brings in more to the state than Mt. Rushmore?  
Well, he supports that!  That means he's the best friend a motorcyclist 
has...out there.

Phantom cars?  Probably those mean and nasty Indian Spirits upset because 
he was a tad careless with some Indian woman years ago.  They really 
shouldn't be so fussy about the senator.  It was so long ago, they 
should've forgotten and moved on.

And diabetes...most diabetics are aware of the symptoms when blood sugar 
is out of acceptable parameters, and take corrective action.  Other folks 
should be aware that in rare cases, strange behaviour can happen.  This is 
in no way a reflection on how the person really is, and this should be 
taken into account.

Randy Scott should have known that something was about to happen, and 
taken corrective action.
