On Tuesday, the 19th of March, I was driving home from work around 4:45 p.m. and was run off Interstate 55 at the William Street northbound entrance ramp. The driver of the 18-wheel truck either didn't even look (I was in his line of sight) to see if someone was in the passing lane or didn't care. I was not able to get the license plate number of the truck but did see the word "sand" was on the side of the truck. After the incident, I pulled over and a very concerned and a nice lady stopped to see if I was OK. I would like to thank that lady for her kindness.
I have difficulty understanding people's negative reaction to the word "socialism." Look up the definition of "socialism." I think the term is being confused with communism. Our country is a socialistic nation in many wonderful ways that support, enhance, our constitutional democracy.
