	A letter by Wess Rodgers, from Albuequerque, to the city of Boston, 
        when he paid a parking ticket he received while visiting the Peoples 
        Republic of Mass.

 The City of Boston
 P.O. Box 2288
 Boston, Ma., 02107-2288

    I recently spent four days in Boston on a business trip.  In 
 that time, I observed the following behaviors on your streets:

 1.  Five-ton trucks running at 55 mph on residential streets.

 2.  Dozens of drivers, including police, totally ignoring red 
    lights, even making left turns against oncoming traffic 
    against red lights.

 3.  Almost universal disregard for stop signs.

 4.  Almost universal disregard for speed limits.

 5.  Almost universal disregard for center lines.

 6.  A vehicle driving at double the speed limit on the wrong side 
    of the street, with a police car passing it at the time.  
    (The policeman was in the curb lane on the wrong side of the 
    street.  I had to hit the curb and lock my brakes to avoid a 
    head-on collision.  The policeman was displaying no emergency 
    signals and completely ignored the driver of the other car.)

 7.  Vehicles making U-turns on the expressway (I-93) and 
    proceeding to drive on the wrong side of the road.

 8.  Absolute, total disregard for any known norms of yielding 
    right of way or sharing the road with other drivers.

 9.  City vehicles double or triple parking on downtown streets in 
    heavy traffic, the drivers making obscene finger gestures to 
    complaining motorists.

 10. Police ignoring the most flagrant violations of traffic laws 
    and signals I have ever seen.

 11. Drivers following each other at less than four feet at speeds 
    in excess of 70 mph on city streets.

    Then, on my last day in Boston I asked a policeman if I could 
 legally park at the curb in the Quincy Market area.  He said, 
 "Shuah.  Pahk anywheah yah like."  When I returned to my car an 
 hour later I found a citation for parking in a loading zone.
    Can you imagine the irony of this?  You people drive like 
 bloody cannibals.  You have no more respect for Human life or 
 well-being than sewer rats who eat their own young.  Then, if 
 a visitor has managed to survive your traffic and your brutality, 
 you lie to them and fine them for believing you.
    Boston is, without a doubt, the most horrid, vicious, utterly 
 despicable city on the face of this earth.  Here is my fine.  I 
 wish you might choke on it.


 Contemptuously,
 Wess Rodgers
