Is it just me or "rudeness taking over"?

Things started downhill about the time Ted Kennedy came to the Senate floor with his grand idea called 'deregulation'. Almost overnight, trucking went from being a respectable job to a job that is looked 'down' on in the economy. The Knights of the Highway fled the industry, and a whole new crowd of drivers took their place. But not completely. You can still find some of the good ol' boys out there plying the highways in nooks and crannies. I kept my radio off until I ran into a Knight. It's good to have a CB when you meet up with one of those guys.
