Auntie Charo's Soapbox

The kids(of all ages, some as young as six, some in their teens) are totally fearless. Drivers the ones that pull away in order not to hit them. So it's no wonder that during the evening hours, our neighbors from Micronesia find themselves at GMH, victims of accidents, some losing their lives because they didn't know how to cross the 'big' roads that they're not familiar with. This is not a laughing matter and I'm not poking fun at the situation.
That some of these people drink and drive on the big road and kill and get killed is certainly tragic to them and to the victim. They should be taught that they can't handle drinking and that driving on Guam is nothing like driving on the island that they come from. They should also be taught that our roads(as well as the roads in Hawaii and those in the states) are dangerous and that four-year-old children have no business being allowed to cross the street at night.
I suppose it's too late now, but there should be cross walks painted at the stop light by the old Rainbow Market and at where the old Town House Furniture store used to be, but knowing our friends from Micronesia, they'll continue to play the fearless game and we'll continue to read about the senseless deaths until somebody takes the time to teach our neighbors that the big roads are dangerous and that people who don't know how to drive on them or cross them, get killed on them!
