Resurrection at Christmas?

Posted by Ian in Uncategorized on December 25th, 2005

I always thought the resurrection was an Easter thing, but apparently its happened in Queensland this Christmas. Police there have revised the official road toll downwards by one. They had included a fatal motorcycle accident south of Brisbane on Saturday in the count but have withdrawn it on Monday morning.

Unfortunately, this does not mean the victim has risen from the dead, merely that he was killed on private property rather than on a public road, which meant his death would not be included in the national toll. So, he’s still dead, but doesn’t count statistically.

As usual at Christmas, the road toll is stacking up ….so far its 4 in Queensland, 3 in South Australia, 2 in WA, and one each in NSW and Victoria. Amazing, and tragic how so many people manage to get themselves killed ….reading some of the reports about the accidents, you wonder how? For example, a 12 year old boy was killed in a 4WD rollover on the brand new M7 Motorway in Sydney yesterday.

Then again, with idiots like this, is it any wonder people manage to get themselves killed? (This dickhead, doing 178 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, and a P-plater, should lose his license and never get it back!)
