  2. I am afraid that the poll results will be as telling as the fundraiser. In other words, the oilam is ok with the status quo.

  6. It's an unfair comparison to compare townships around us which actually have law enforcement and people actually abide by the speed limits and signage posted. Where as lakewood we don't have any law enforcement to speak of and the only reason why the numbers aren't any higher is our superior reflexes and driving abilities....... A better comparison might be to compare the ratio of Summonses Versus accidents.....

    1. They don't want you to think of it that way, they want you to think of it as somehow unfair. The same goes with everything in this town.

    2. ???Superior reflexes? Driving ability? Like the kollel couple that sailed through a stop sign and smashed into my son a few days ago? B’H for airbags - a lot more people would be dead in Lakewood if not for them. (The couple was very apologetic - I would rather they had stopped for the stop sign.)

    3. Sorry for what your son went through. But what a disgusting comment. Of what difference is it whether the driver earns a parnassa as a plumber, apple-picker, store owner or anything else.

    4. How do a 'Kollel couple' drive? AFAIK, only one person drives a car at a time, not a couple.

  7. This Mark Meadows thing is so stupid. I don't care how Red (I don't mean Commie) or Blue you are, YOU ARE NOT GOING to wear a wire when you are speaking with the President of the United States, maybe a reporter, but no one serving him, particularly his chief of staff. It might not be treason but TOTALY inconsistent with the reality of ANYONE who serves the president. These people alleging this stupidity have no conception of the American Experience, and the unanimous awe that Americans have historically shown when call upon to serve the president. How stupid to allege this!

    It's quite another thing, that like Nixon, Trump is going to be connected to the criminality of his underlings. Nixon, at least, was record on HIS OWN tape and Congress had to go to the Supreme Court to get it. I find it very hard to believe with all those guilty pleas that the government does not has not yet found that link. But what a joke someone would say the Chief of Staff would make his own tape at FBI request.

  8. You’re right, of course. Apologies. I was responding to the person who was directly referring to how wonderful (evidently) we drive, and I was simply saying these were not non-Jewish people.
