    I belong to a railway-oriented website (Trainorders.com) and a frequent subject is drivers going around crossing gates or driving past active crossing signals and getting smacked by a train. From time to time I post a saying attributed to musician Frank Zappa and/or Sci-Fi author Harlan Ellison: “The two most plentiful things in the universe are Hydrogen and Stupidity.”
