This item demonstrates how stupid the average American is. Every ninety minutes someone in this country is hit by a train. A train...OK? Trains are on tracks; they can't come and get you. They can't surprise you when you step off a curb. You have to go to them. Get that?
There are five tousand highway / rail-crossing accidents annually. To counter this problem the Dept. of Transportation issued the following rules for people to follow at railroad crossings:
- Don't drive around lowered gates. "OK, got it"
- Don't cross in front of trains. "Never thought of that"
- Don't walk on the tracks. "Check"
- Be aware that trains can't stop quickly. "Good to know"
- Always expect a train. "This one would probably be tied in to the fact that these are railroad track, is that right? Correct me if I'm wrong on this"
- Look for more than one train. "Frankly this is one I never thought of. Maybe if I remember the others, this one will take care of itself"

Sad but true, people need to be told these things and they still don't listen...
:)
Really? People are this dumb?
So sad.
Maybe we should not post warnings and just let natural selection do its thing.
P.S. I'm bummed about the game. We'll do it another time.
