World Of Tourism

There are some situations in life you cannot begin to understand, I'm speaking to the people that use their moral compass to guide them through the obstacle course of life. A young girl of 15 was gang raped at a school in California. This may seem like the norm, how many times have we heard about gang rapes? Horrific but news we've heard time and time again what makes this story different and caused a media frenzy is that it was at a Homecoming Dance, outside the hall, for everyone to see and can you guess what people did? I'm not talking about normal, sane human beings, I'm talking about sick and twisted teenagers that either stared, laughed, took photos or participated.

It went on for two hours, with a transfixed audience, mob mentality at its very best. Reveling in a poor girls misery and fear. I'm a parent and when I say that this story shocks me to my core, that would be an understatement. What the hell are parents teaching their kids? Why are atrocities like this happening in "civil" society? Inst this behavior reminiscent of the dark ages, seems we are heading backwards and at an alarming rate.

5 boys, I call them boys because real men don't rape, have been arrested and I think that every student that witnessed that event and did nothing should be held accountable like the rapists. I actually think it's worse when a person does nothing and let's something so horrific take place. Lock them all up and throw away the key and while you're at it, lock their parents up to. People like that don't deserve to be walking around free, cage them like the animals they are. And to that poor girl, my thoughts go out to you in this difficult time. I'm sorry.....

Now even for this blogger, who will be honest and say she has no real interest in cars, was intrigued and concerned by a new story making headlines. A British driver has set a new record for speeding on a Spanish motorway when he was clocked driving at 168 miles per hour in his sports car, in the southern province of Granada on Wednesday morning!

I feel a little conficted here, I'm not sure if I should be flaming mad or quiet impressed at the speed of a Ferarri California, yes that's the sports car....pause for effect.... I can almost hear the panting of every male reading this.

Now he was in a 75mph zone and a police spokesman had this to say, "It is rare to catch anyone driving at more than 124 mph, but to reach the speed of this driver is completely unheard of." wow. The man in question is Alan Mcgregor Heron who is 56 and is clearly trying desperately to hold onto his youth.

He was fined 3,600 euros and had his license confiscated, obviously. But the question I want to ask is, if this man can afford to purchase a Ferarri California, surely he can afford to pay the fine?

Now as impressed as I am at this marvelous piece of machinery and the speed is admittedly a bit of a turn on, it's just not smart to be a reckless driver, anything can go wrong at any moment and he could have landed up killing himself or others. A harsher punishment is called for in this case, in my opinion. 123.....lecture over....

Personally I would prefer to take a slow and leisurely drive while listening the the number one information station, Tourism Radio.
