Only a 7% reduction?????

[idman]

Out of the mouth of another Thai Government Idiot comes this gem.  Transit Minister Inspector Sarawut Songsivilai says his Department is going to reduce road deaths during this years Songkran carnage by 7%.  First off, did he just pick that number by going to a Temple and giving some Monk a wad of Baht and asking him to provide a number???  Secondly, why only 7% this year and why only during Songkran, why not try for a higher reduction 365 days a year????  Thailand has the distinction of being the most dangerous country in the entire world for road deaths and yet every holiday these Government clowns make dumb promises to fix the problem but does it ever change the reality???  I don't think so.  Get ready for more carnage next month and more lame excuses.

give themselves an easy target and then pat themselves on the back and say what a success the whole campaign was.
