INSTEAD OF GETTING new cars to catch speeders, please try to do the following first: (1) Make an effort to catch speeders when a neighborhood continuously calls about speeding; (2) ticket all the people who run stop signs and red lights; (3) spend more time on the interstate using the radar.

I WAS JUST WONDERING if we have forgotten what actually happened to our country on 9-11. Innocent people died for absolutely no reason. Why is it that President Bush is trying to punish the people who did this to our country and no one is behind him?
