Growing up in the muscle car era tough us a lot about controlling cars while doing inadvisable things. Antilock brakes are great, but many of these systems sound quite scary. I take my kids driving in snowstorms and also show them how to handle a car in icy parking lots so they are ready for a sketchy situation, lack of traction etc.

I wish we could get the rest of the people of Wisconsin to buy cars that can handle the winter climate, accelerate to freeway speeds safely etc. I don't know if it is incompetence,panic, low brain reaction speed or feeble cars that are the cause of the inexplicable crappy driving I am witnessing today.

The two are unrelated. Charity involves many individuals giving of their own and of their own free will. Government is the use of coercion by a few powerful people to "do good" and "be generous" with other people's money. Another simple test is: were these resources used to start wars, reward cronies,create dependency etc.--or taken by force?
