The 500 horse power Detroit Series 60 Diesel helps in that area too......
It is in my own personal opinion that since the years immediately following WWII, the level of selfish ignorance, and appathy towards others has grown expotentionally through out our society, this measure seems to increase 20 fold when people go on vacation. I've seem it in people at Disney World in Florida, I've seen it in people that vacation in Mertle Beach, and I live it here at the South Jersey seashore every year of my life.
Many of these people come here with the attitude that since they are paying large sums of money to visit our island for a week, everyone else should bend over and kiss their ass, they treat the place like a garbage dump, they tend to be extremely rude and very demanding. The worst part is, in order to survive life with them, you have to become one of them to a certain level. Then they have the nerve to claim "we" are the rude one's.
The sad part is, you know these tourists would never act that way, or treat their home soil the way they do when they come to my home town, they view their vacation as an excuse to act like a total asshole for one week out of the year, and we have to deal with them, their rude, reckless, and ignorant driving, and the mess they leave behind....every single year....but that's life when you live at a seashore resort......:glare:
OK...rant over....I'll get down off my soap box now.....:blush:
