Of course. *You, cross-posting vitriol about Bush and 9/11 here day

Yep, because WHAT THEY FEAR IS THE MESSAGE.

If you disagree with Henry about the twin towers being blown up by
Bush to give an excuse for attacking Iraq, then you also "fear the
message." Enjoy the taste of each other's medicine, boys.

Yeah, you are so clever that you want to hide your stupidity. But
that's hard to do...

How can you say that the above groups (plus some other left out) don't
share a particular area of interest. Have you noticed WE ALL SHARE THE
SAME ROAD? Well, kind of, because share would mean that we cooperate
intead of intimidate each other.

I don't know if you are clever or stupid, but you sure look funny.

Exactly, and I can almost advance the answer. The corrupt ones who
make a factory out of issuing speeding tickets, won't. But the good
ones will.

I don't fear that more than the theory that Iraq had WMDs when they
didn't.

And that was a REAL conspiracy theory.

Remember the secret contacts of Hussein and Al Qaida in Nigeria and
Checkoslavakia and other BS?

You'll be surprised how smart kids are these days...

Or you thought speeding tickets were about taming traffic? I think it
has more to with feeding the city coffers and the lawyers. Here you
hire a lawyer, and your points won't count toward your insurance and
you won't even have to appear in court. How easier can it get than
that?

IT'S ALL ABOUT A MONEY, kids say.

Following your example argues for cars driving in lanes devoted to

Still waiting for that post on the subject of respecting the commonly
shared resource
of Usenet, while cross-posting to as many unrelated newsgroups as
possible. No deep thoughts on that, genius?

The only thing that is a "little extreme" is your ****ed-up brain. If and
when we get B. Hussein O. for president, you will wish that we still had
Bush in the White House. Now take your god damn liberal sentiments and stuff
them up your ass, you moron!

I iniatially pushed for separate facilities (bike lanes), but now in
light of the resistance from cyclists (who probably are elite cyclists
who are not interested in them), I push both for bike lanes and
traffic taming. Both conditions are present in Key West which make it
appropriate as a model.

I hope that's not hard to understand for someone with reading
comprehension problems.
