The Trucker's Trucking Forum And "instigating" ol' truckers aren't mentioned in the Bible either. But I'm glad someone created TTF. I'll get back with U about the other.

and the women's husband is a lunatic...... four things might happen. He'll kill her , he'll kill the driver, he'll kill 'em both, or he'll kill 'em both and then kill himself !

I can agree with the respect part. No question. But I do have questions. Was it the volume that bothered her? Or the reading? Was it the mothers actions? Or was the drivers eaves dropping causing the problem? It doesn't say she was reading LOUD. It says she was reading out loud. I don't have a passenger endorsment either, but I did drive a school bus years [& years, & years] ago. If their policy is to address, much less stop an take "disciplinary" action, every time there is loud conversation, is that driver ever really paying attention to their driving? No wonder the T bus fares have gone up. A bus, a van, a driver, a supervisor, & all those extra miles for a "buck & a half". U can't even get a Sunday paper for that. U couldn't read it on the bus anyway.LOL

Its not supposed to be a religious issue. I don't know that the mother was on her her "high & mighty" Christian soapbox. It seems that news of late would have allowed more tolerance if it had been a Quran. At least most folks will admit that they don't know anything about Islam. But with christianity they'll assume to.

The attitude-in-action question I have is whose idea was it to use the van. While it was probably not the responsibility of the busline to provide alternate transportation someone made that choice. I sense that if it were up to the driver, mother and children would have been just "put out".
Their in lies my original query into the real conflict. Looks like a good cover to a bad exposure. A "Big Thumbs UP" to whoever made the choice.

It stated the same treatment would have been given if it were Moby Dick. Moby Dick? Can they say that out loud? Sorry, like other folks, I seem to be reading too much into this thats not stated in the facts.
