APIA, Samoa -- Sometime in the early morning hours of Sept. 7, residents of this small Pacific island nation will stop their cars, take a deep breath, and do something most people would think is suicidal: Start driving on the other side of the road.
Samoa is about to become what's believed to be the first nation since the 1970s to order its drivers to switch from one side of the road to the other. That's spawned an islandwide case of road rage. Opponents have organized two of the biggest protests in Samoan history, and a new activist group -- People Against Switching Sides, or PASS -- has geared up to fight the plan.

Well, it is or it isn't, the number of nations is finite, and this is a feature story, so there was time for the writer or an "editor" to check up. Since Fiji also drives on the wrong side and is situated in the same hemisphere, I can only assume that the no-pants rule, the death of democracy and folks walking on a globe head-downward have caused this madness to spread.
