Don't people listen?

A bridge fell into the Mighty Mississippi today. It was reported that they found cracks in it, yet they let it stay in service. hmmmm... Don't people ever listen? Why does something consequential always have to happen before people listen? Like getting the hell out of Dodge when there's a hurricane coming (after stockpiling of course)? Like a teenager who won't follow the rules and gets grounded, misses the big party? Or the poor kid who licks a frozen flagpole? See the point?

And... how can people be so stupid to leave their car running in the garage?? I mean, you pull in, turn the ignition off, remove the keys, close the door, take the baby out, right? How simple and sensible is that? This week, in our area alone, two boys (and the dog) died because their mom allegedly forgot to turn off the vehicle in the garage. Another family was saved when their baby awoke crying like a banshee and the parents felt "woozy". I mean, people? Turn off the car!! Or at least install a carbon monoxide detector in your garage/home.

ummm... people can be stoopid sometimes.
