Yeah, it's been all over the news.

W9JEF, please give us your viewpoint on this situation; tell us what you think.

Do you think that the driver of the Semi-Tractor Trailer was texting behind the wheel and caused the accident? Maybe a the Limo driver had a seed pop out of his Doobie and it landed in his shoe causing him to stop abruptly or maybe he slammed on the brakes inadvertently when he choked and sneezed because the Cocaine "went up (or down) the wrong pipe?"

Maybe it was the "Almighty's" way of smiting the "evil" being broadcasted and syndicated by Lorne Michaels, the span of the Devil himself or the "Mainstream Media" itself.

Back at Hughes High School (just down the road from West Memphis, Blackfish Lake and Heth, Arkansas before you get to Forrest City) they teach Critical Thinking classes; I'm sure that your Walm*rt deity supplies plenty of tax dollars for an educated workforce so, the schools in your area should be up to speed. Certainly, you can expound on your original posting.

Please, using more than 4 double-spaced lines, give us something to chew on, this is a discussion board and we are hungry for substance and subjects to debate.

W9JEF, you're up to bat now, "Hit it out of the park!"

(Swings the Wouf Hong he uses as a bat as he ambles toward
the batters box, spitting as he steps up to the grounded plate)

Now that, based on reliable sources, we have more facts on which to base an opinion:

To their credit, Walmart has accepted full responsibility,

and the driver appears in court today.

Let's all stay tuned, and not jump to hasty conclusions.

Innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law, and all that.

Ah, there is no fun to be found when not jumping to hasty conclusions or making bombastic statements. If all that we wanted were the facts, we would stick to the news outlets and, we would swallow the pablum without the benefit of teeth.

Because we are in the Entertainment section, I'm going to comment on the acting and comedic abilities of Tracy Morgan; although he was able to parlay his SNL exposure into another NBC television show, I see him as a one dimensional actor / comedian. Tracy Morgan does not have the fluidity of delivery of Eddie Murphy, he does not have the cutting edge humor of Chris Rock or, the ability to expand out and play opposite of actors like Jackie Chan as Chris Tucker did so well in 'Rush Hour'.

Tracy Morgan reminds me a lot of Danny Glover, a decent actor but he's only suited to play certain character roles unlike Harrison Ford who is very versatile.

Of course, we all hope Tracy Morgan a swift and complete recovery.

Tracy is an unique comedian, a likable person, and IMHO,
yet to hit his stride in the entertainment business.

A very talented and energetic young man.
Hope is for his full recovery, allowing him to resume his career.

Reportedly, the semi which hit Tracy's van was equipped with collision avoidance systems.

Did driving a "nanny truck"--the driver's resultant complacency--cause a tragic accident?
