Jan:
Appearances to the contrary, the freeway carnage you have just seen, was not the work of the Freeway Fiddler. In fact all these accidents took place before we ever heard of an unbalanced, homicidal speed freak called the Freeway Fiddler. Because without any help from the Fiddler at all, we manage to kill 50 thousand Americans on our roads and freeways every year. Over 2 million Americans have died in automobile accidents, that's almost twice the number of men killed in all the wars the United States have ever fought. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Fiddler phenomenon is that it hasn't happened long before this. Consider that every driver has a lethal weapon placed in his hands, and then consider he is actually encouraged, through advertisement and the entertainment media to use this weapon in a dangerous and irresponsible way. And if the driver is male, he may even be persuaded that his very masculinity depends on how fast he can drive, or how many chances he is willing to take with his life or the lives of others. Is it really necessary for the automobile manufacturers to glamorize speed and recklessness in their advertising? And to manufacture cars capable of speeds in an excess of over 100 miles an hour? Unless the industry that makes the cars and the public that buys them, begin to assume some responsibility for the lethal potential of this family servant we call the automobile, the murderer known as the Freeway Fiddler may well be only the first of his kind.
