As more and more people discuss, what went wrong at Virginia Tech, the more I am convinced it is not about gun control. While I myself do not own a gun, nor do  I need one. I am not opposed to people who want to own them for hunting or self defense purposes.

The problem in Virginia tech, and most any mass murders involving guns, has nothing to do with our right to bear arms. It alll has to do with our laws regarding too much privacy. The people who I blame are the teachers and phychologists who were afraid to report this crazy kids actions, all because they were afraid to violate his privacy.

To me any jerk that has the nerve to right such sick topics in school, should be flagged as crazy and locked up. This is the real reason that let to this terrible tragidy. Too much privacy and liberal laws are our worst enemy. Also if we re to blame gun control, why don’t we make background checks more important when some honest gun shop owners are abouit to sell a gun. Maybe if they would have know who they were selling the guns to, they would have let somebody in law enforcement at least know that such a crazy person had just purchaced a new gun!  

Miami is listed as one of the worst cities for traffic. The average commuter spends at least one hour to get to work each day. Some of these people live within 15 miles of their job, yet it takes them a whole hour to get to work. The reason is simple, not enough roads for too many cars. So the city has been trying to take care of this, by building new roads and busways. But that has its own problems, these projects are long and costly. They also have to block existing lanes on the highways and less lanes, means even more traffic. Another problem that Miami has, is too many tourists from too may different countries. They may know how to drive in their own cities, but they do not know that Miami is different.

Too may people think that driving offensively is the answer. What they do not realize is that you also have to drive defensively. Almost every day, there are about 10 to 15 car accidents. The main reason is that the persons involved were driving normal. They were following the normal traffic rules. For example they drive through a green light, with no need to look right and left. But in Miami that is the wrong answer. If you want to survive for many years without getting into an accident, somebody needs to teach every driver that you must look left and right, even when you drive through a green light, or just about any intersection. They also need to teach this to all of the high school kids that just got their drivers license. Too many people run red lights, so you have to look out for them, and that is about the only way to avoid accidents. My only conclusion is that you have to drive defensively or you will become another statistic.
