Like, say, construction, carpentry...um, farming? George believes that everyone in the US should be free... to do things George approves of. I'm starting to wonder if George knows what George approves of. |

You're not even addressing the initial point. |

Cities have driven the price of food down, down, down. In the U.S., places like Compton don't have poverty? Detroit? The Bronx? George has hobbyhorses, he rides them wherever he can. I just know demographic facts, unlike the ignorant like you. And you selectively simplify them to the point that they are no longer accurate. You are wrong again. You need to use some of the international data sources which are out there. But, for the United States, poverty is now concentrated in rural areas, and there are more poor people in the suburbs than in the city. You are the one with old data. Since when do you get to redefine suburban as rural? Only you do that. |

Pushing third world abuses into the USA is no victory for anyone but this fool. You have failed to convince anyone (except maybe your alter ego, Scott) that bicycle taxis are abusive as practiced in the US. Your line of logic seems to be something like this: Rhubarb leaves are often red, and can be poisonous. Tomatoes are often red, and are always poisonous. Do you not see the flaw in this kind of "logic"? -Amy |
