[FRIAM] Breakfast in Santa Fe

Sat Oct 23 13:53:09 EDT 2021

I am not sure if Europe is more civilized than America. We have our own problems. In Germany for example there is no speed limit on highways in general. Some people are proud of it, others want to end this freedom because it increases pollution and traffic accidents. Driving 200 km/h (124 mph) can be nice, but it also has drawbacks. Any speed limits have been prevented so far by the powerful car industry, which is the most important industry here. I would say the car culture here is comparable to the weapon culture in the US. But it is going to change: gasoline and diesel cars will be banned in 10-15 years.-J.

(Many more "playfully".) None of them pulled the trigger, luckily. But that just proves that they do NOT take guns seriously. They are more toy, less weapon ... which makes them even more dangerous. Also, 2 of my friends from high school were murdered, one with a gun, one with a knife.This country is more violent than privileged white dudes might have you believe. Jochen would be wise to take vacation in a civilized country.On 10/22/21 2:50 PM, Frank Wimberly wrote:> Jochen,> > I've spent more than 1/3 of my 78 years in New Mexico including the last 22.  I've never been shot at, I've never seen anyone be shot, and I've never known anyone who was killed or wounded by gunfire.  I used to shoot rabbits when I was a teenager but I regret that very much.> > The police I've interacted with are courteous and try to be as helpful as possible.  My original comment was said tongue-in-cheek.  I should have used a smiley.> > > Frank> > ---> Frank C.
