Terror in New York
It's the cars. New York would be a remarkably good city without them. With them, it's a congested, noisy, polluted pit of hostility and ill health.

I don't click NYT links. I did buy an actual paper on 4 July when my usual paper didn't publish. Utter waste of money and of dead trees. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

The subways certainly aren't an oasis, except for rats. I was noticing a while back that the subway rats are incredibly healthy looking with shiny coats and wet noses. We should collect them as a food crop or for their fur. Ship the meat to the great state of West Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_meat They can cook it up with clean coal. And we could all have fine rat-fur coats. News of the day, I was riding along out in the country and got chased by a chicken. It was terrifying. -- Jay Beattie. |

With all of this congestion, noise, pollution, hostility and ill health perhaps you can explain why since 1900 the life expectancy of a white man in NYC has gone from 47 years to 72 years while a black man has gone from 33 years to about he same 72? Proximity to immediate help; proximity to medical care. You can get many chances to die in a place like that. You don't have to spend a lot of time examining New Yorkers to see that huffing exhaust is bad for you. If you're from a less car-infested place, you can't fail to notice. |

I saw my rooster Jackie Chan bluff-charge hawks, attack me and leave me with scars I still wear, and face down all kinds of other critters you'd think were completely out of a chicken's league. They have no idea they're just chickens. |

A few years ago I was alone on one of my favorite roads, a little narrow one straddled by a farmyard right at a tight right angle bend. Just as I got to the bend, a chicken ran right across the road in front of me. As I hit the brakes hard, I said to the chicken "Now why did you do that?" The woman sitting on the porch 20 feet away burst out laughing at the old joke. - Frank Krygowski |
