If I had a revolution I'd swap cars for bikes

If I had a revolution --I do-- in one those Banana Republics out there
(hey, plenty of them, don't just think about America), I'd probably
take cue from Chavez --yes, he can be smart too-- and swap cars for
bikes. Good bikes for that matter.

Chavez will swap gas-guzzlers for clean cars
CARACAS, Venezuela - Give up your gas-guzzler and get a free car.
That's President Hugo Chavez's offer to Venezuelans.

Chavez says he plans to start a program next year that will give away
cars running on less-polluting natural gas to people who turn in old
cars that consume "too much gasoline."

So what would you do if you had a revolution?

WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION?
(reason #101: because bananas power bikes!)

In other words you like using food for bike fuel so you can kill off as many
third world people as possible.

And Mr. May has admitted to participating in unnecessary physical
activity for "exercise". We should be putting the owners of gyms, the
makers of "fitness equipment" and sports equipment and all who partake
in needless physical activity on trial for mass murder, no?

We will not mention the amount of potential food-stocks (corn [1] and
soy beans) being used to make motor fuel.

Staying health takes a lot less energy than fixing medical problems is not
remotely food to fuel conversion. That is one reason Kaiser is the lowest
cost medical and tends to have the best results. But you are in the very
stupid approach that the solution to all resource management is conservation
instead of technology development to expand the options for being "green".
As always your ignorance of almost everything in society is extremely
apparent.

We will not mention the amount of potential food-stocks (corn [1] and soy

The work on biofuels is developing approaches that do not use food sources
for fuel. You are way out of touch with what is going on.

I exercise to keep myself very health. My "gym" is an Olympic size
trampoline in my back yard I have had for years. I am the only person at
Kaiser at least in Redwood city that has ever taken their entire bank of
test where they found no detectible medical problems. Kaiser keeps a large
computer database of all their medical activities. They know what is
happening and what has happened there. The doctors have often made
comments to others about my unique health characteristics. My family
history is that of a very long life.

I have a rare disease which is the result of a random mutation of antibodies
which would be impossible to prevent with exercise. I just finished 10 days
at Kaiser where they pumped blood cell out of my body (a small amount at a
time) through a machine that centrifuged it to separate the antibodies by
molecular weight and molecularly grab the offending antibodies with albumen
(blood product) and remove them from my body where they are discarded.
Could give me maybe as much as few years with out the problem. The process
can be repeated if the anti-bodies pop up again.

The process is a low energy treatment.

By rare I mean in the SF Bay area there are two people at Stanford Medical
and me at Kaiser that have the disease. All three of us are being treated
with the machine which is also used to maintain suppression of the offending
anti-bodies for life.

OK you can now waste your time again to come up with more retarded comments
that technology laggards so often do because of their deep inferiority
complex.

This hurts is much as an insult from Ed Dolan, considering the source.
Not to mention the several false assumptions Mr. May makes.

Most biofuels in the US involve corn and soy.

For that same energy in non-productive exercising on the trampoline, you
could commute to work by bicycle.

Which has what to do with transportation?

How comes you oppose cycling as means of transport and as means of
public health improval so much, as it has been proven numerous times to
increase overall health in societies?

is not
remotely food to fuel conversion. That is one reason Kaiser is the lowest
cost medical and tends to have the best results. But you are in the very

Maybe, in the future, somewhen. But right now, a lot - don't have the
percentage at hand - of the biofuel resources is standing in the way of
food resources.

I exercise to keep myself very health.

Shouldn't there be an adjective?

What in particular has your personal medical story (no matter how
interesting it may be,
or how much empathy you deserve for it) to do with cycling as means of
transport,
its contribution to public health and the likes?

You're calling everybody else here a technology laggard. But I do think,
your case must some of a social laggard.

Maybe he's playing camouflage (trying to look good) when promoting
efficient cars while keeping the gallon of gas at 12 cents.

I think Big Oil and him are one big happy family.

You don't seem to know much about energy efficiency, do you?

When you are powered by bananas, you only carry yourself plus the
weight of the bicycle, say, 1/20th the weight of you carrying an SUV.

So you can still cause some minor suffering, but nothing comparable to
what you do with an SUV.

And then if we have a revolution down there too, we can have the
banana workers work in coops with all the benefits and perks --
including healthcare-- normal to the civilized nations outside the
USA.

According to the Commandante's teachings, it's the law of the jungle,
but one must also mention that lions, monkeys, and bananas figure
into the equation. In what way? I don't know. My understanding of
Banana Epistemology is lacking.

You don't seem to watch Animal Planet let alone political debates.

Like in the jungle, politics is about camouflage (lies) by which you
hide the fact that the big predators (lion) eat the common people (the
sheep). Then the monkey realizes this game of deceit and cries: LION!

Oh, the banana is for the lion trying to eat the monkey.
