Are SUVs "evil" and bikes "good"?

I don't think they go that deep into energies. They just know I'm
smaller and push me around.

It's the same principle of the jungle: "The Big Fish eats the Little
Fish!"

Tadej, we are fighting the predators of the jungle through their
symbols of power and status.

I don't promote monarchy though, just monkey democracy. The alpha-male
monkeys that want to be lions will be put in cages. Unless they eat
the banana to prove who they are...

What you say makes so much sense. SUVs are just Selfish Unnecessary
Vehicles.

You know what USA stands for?

USA stands for United Selfish of America...

I wonder how can anyone die for a country that stands for
selfishness?

But you promoted yourselves from plain commandante to illustrious king!
How does that go along with your democratic strives towards banana republic?

No need to put the wannabe lions in cages, just throw them back at their
natural feet! ;.)

It's either the cage, the feet, the bike or the banana!

Exactly. But it's the stupid monkeys that do the fighting...

Oh tanks, I've been looking for the video.

The point is that 40% of trips in America are under 2 miles, PERFECT
FOR RIDING BIKES...

So it's NOT even that we have to get rid of the evil SUVs overnight,
but we can take up biking for short distances.

And if you do one good thing, then it cancels out the bad thing, and
you are OK... Get my point?

Well, things were different before 2000. There was a sense of duty and
patriotism. This war is about oil and SUVs, period. Or you may have
signed up before 9-11, in which case you didn't know how to get out.

My statement though is not meant to be an insult, but a reminder to
those monkeys who want to join the Army.

Forget about democracy, the sheep vote for the lions, and are not
interested in what war is all about. "Just do the job quickly," they
say. Well, it turned out to be neither quick nor cheap.

The monkeys need to be reminded that they are neither lions nor
sheep...
