Our Usual Anti-American Tirades

[Jerry in Houston <glewis4457@xxxxxxxxx>]

I see we are back to our typical anti-American cheap
shots and of course the italians do everything so
perfectly well.  WELL, bullcookies.  I lived and drove
in Italy for 2 years (including Rome, Naples, and
Venice) and I can assure you that they have their
share of bad and rude drivers as does America, ever
seen the classic Italian raised forearm and hand to
the inside elbow, i.e. their version of the finger. 
They use it easily and frequently.  Of course these
accusations are usually based on anecdotal evidence at
best, Ohhhh I was in Italy for 3 days and yadda yadda
yadda, or no evidence at all.  Characterizing a whole
population as being afraid of their cars or some such
malarky is no different than "white men can't jump"
and "black folks all have rhythm".  Both of which are
pure B.S.  There are good and bad drivers in both
cultures, of course the members of this digest ALL
qualify as above average or excellent drivers....
yeah....right.
