    I was driving to the store today and another car passed me. As I was doing the speed limit the other car was obviously speeding. After the car was going down the road I noticed that I was also speeding. I immediately slowed down and "told" the truck that it didn't need to keep up with the car. I didn't intentionally speed up so it must have been a reflex action. I was also thinking that sometimes when I pass a car they seem to speed up. I think that must be a reflex action too. It is possible that some choices are not made intentionally but by reflex actions. There must be many of these when you stop to think about it. How many things in this life do we do by reflex action and not by choice? Dooley

    Certainly makes you think doesn't it Dooley? I've watched drivers speed up too when another car was overtaking them. Strange how the human mind works sometimes isn't it?
