No, the answer is to ban cycles from public roads just as they are now
banned from interstate highways.

"Here we go in a flung festoon,
Half-way up to the jealous moon!
Don't you envy our pranceful bands?
Don't you wish you had extra hands?
Wouldn't you like if your tails were--so--
Curved in the shape of a Cupid's bow?
Now you're angry, but--never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!

Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two--
Something noble and wise and good,
Done by merely wishing we could.
We've forgotten, but--never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!

All the talk we ever have heard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird--
Hide or fin or scale or feather--
Jabber it quickly and all together!
Excellent! Wonderful! Once again!

Now we are talking just like men!
Let's pretend we are ... never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
This is the way of the Monkey-kind.

Then join our leaping lines that scumfish through the pines,
That rocket by where, light and high, the wild grape swings.
By the rubbish in our wake, and the noble noise we make,
Be sure, be sure, we're going to do some splendid things!"

Nice poem you put together (or did you copy it?)

Anyway, my twin brother KingOfTheApes made an statement such as not to
post at least for 24 hours... Well, forget about it. I,
ComandanteBanana, made such a great contributions to the ideas of THE
REVOLUTION, that I'm posting over my brother's foolish statements.

Anyway, the VolksBike would be simple and cheap, possibly under $200
for the proles...

Good thing though this NOT a Marxist revolution, so we can afford a
middle class, a rather large one like in Sweden or something, just
that the real big fish will be taxed to control their uncontrolled
appetites.

So this middle class could afford luxuries like the "cooperative made"
"American made" recumbents, which are more laid back to go with the
social status. They are perfectly fine to replace the automobile for
shorter distances while still giving you a nice workout. No more
bellies as a result of being couch potatos.

"Burley Design Cooperative, a worker-owned manufacturing cooperative
for 25 years, produces high-quality, durable bicycle products,
including child trailers, cargo trailers, trailercycles, tandems,
recumbents, road bikes, commuter bikes and raingear in Eugene, Oregon.
Their products are sold nationally and internationally through
independent bicycle dealers and specialty sporting goods stores. For

We however prefer something SMART)

We can have the revolutionary,

"Yes to the Smart, no to the Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles"

Well, Smart manufacturer better chip in with the revolution.

I don't expect many people here to be revolutionaries... And anyway,
if you were, you'd probably agree with Chavez, but here's an open
letter to the comandante...

Mr. Chavez, Capitalist Crisis will starve your revolution!

I think you were right about the capitalism being in crisis (perhaps
as much as communism), but that can only starve your revolution! Yes,
the petrodollars to finance your social projects (besides the
militarty buildup) will dry up. Well, I have other objections even if
a Petrol Revolution were to work, like Global Warming, but that's too
deep, huh?

That's why I say we need a Banana Revolution. For real, from
Comandante to Comandante.

(I expect an answer by tomorrow)

Good news is that with so many Sheriffs and WPB PD around, the
gangsters and crack dealers took a break making for a relatively
peaceful ride back to the Juno bunker

That's true. But it's also remembered by the oil embargo crisis that
forced Americans to change... Hopefully this time toward bicycles.

Report from the Jungle, south: I came out of my bunker and rode on
trails for 2 miles, then kayak, then back on my bike, and another mile
later. No major attack from either big fish or motorists. The rest of
the time in the Internet.

Plenty of news from the jungle though if you go to Google news and
search "law of the jungle"...

This curious news report is from Cuba, a country famous for his lion:

Reflections of Fidel
THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE

Trade, within a society and among countries, is the exchange of goods
and services produced by human beings. The owners of the means of
production appropriate the profits. As a class, they are the leaders
of the capitalist state and they boast of fostering development and
social well-being through the market. This they worship as an
infallible God.

In every country there is competition between the strongest and the
weakest; those with more physical energy, those who are better fed,
those who learned how to read and write, those who attended school,
those who have more accumulated experience, more social relations and
more resources, and those in society who do not have these advantages.

Among countries: those with a better climates and more arable land,
more water and more natural resources in the area where they are
located, when there are no more territories to conquer; those that
master technology, have greater development and handle unlimited media
resources, and those that, in contrast, do not enjoy any of these
prerogatives. These are the sometimes enormous differences between
countries described as rich or poor.

It is the law of the jungle.
