Wal Mart lobbyists
have been pushing for truckers to be allowed to drive 16 hours a day. God help us if they ever succeed- The roadways are so dangerous already. Current limit is 11, I think.

1. Holy shit. Pro-commuity my big fat hairy...

A link would be nice, though.

Let's hope walmart has to pay the penalties for any accidents. That would be fair and just. They want it both ways. And that is unethical and immoral.
