What American Cities are Missing: Bikes by the Thousands

Maybe I have better ways to spend my time. You always find ignorance a good way to spend you time. |

Ron gave a presentation of several hours with even more current data in April in Atlanta. He had cartograms of USA counties which were amazing. They will be in Social Forces in a few months. Bolshevik is not interested in facts... he wants to maintain his preconceived notions. He finds ignorance comforting. |

Such work is abusive, and if you pull the pedicab yourself, then you are abusing yourself. I guess any work that involves physical exertion is "abusive." 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. 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 |

That there's disproportionate poverty in rural areas is well known, and nobody is denying it, near as I can tell. The point was that George blames urban areas for failings of rural economies. Many of these failings go back generations. And then when richer people move to the rural area and buy up the property, George complains again - railing about "horse farms". In short, all George has to offer is jealousy and NO solutions. |

George approves of everyone owning at least one car per person and never walking, riding a bike, or using passenger rail. In fact, he wants everyone to drive their cars from their bedrooms to their cubicles, because even walking to and from their cars might threaten his car fetish.

ROAD TERRORISM
"donquijote1954" wrote in message oups.com... --eco-terrorists are aptly named. Its not that things aren't changing, they are, albiet slowly, the "eco-terrorist" have been very lucky in that they haven't killed anyone that we know of yet. Destroying new housing, SUV's or burning down ski lodges may not be the same as Osama bin Goathumper planning the destruction of the WTC but if you read some of the blogs these nuts and thier supporters put out there, it is very clear that they don't consider anyone who disagrees with them in the slightest to have any right to be heard. It is literally thier way or the highway. Anything they do to stop those they disagree with is just a-okay. Scaring folks is just alright with them.-- If you use and abuse the term you may have to include some other folks out there, namely ROAD TERRORISM... "Road rage (also road violence, road terrorism) is the common name for deliberately dangerous and/or violent behaviour under the influence of heightened anger, by any motor vehicle operator, affecting the safety of one or more other operators or bystanders." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_rage Oh, by the way, I really feel TERRORIZED while riding my bike. SUV terrorists and cell phone terrorists terrorize me the most. I keep telling you, mi Senor, those are not war machines, but windmills. |

In short, all George has to offer is jealousy and NO solutions. Tsk, tsk. You are totally not paying attention to what George says. He is completely ok with people who have more money than the rural people buying up the property so that they can build subdivisions and the area is no longer rural. So then the _rest_ of the rural area is poor, and he still has something to complain about. I think if George got everything he advocates (impossible, since he's so logically inconsistent), he' do a complete 180 so he'd have more to complain about. |

worse than Iraq

wrote: Under that logic, you should start by banning 53-foot trailers and tandems.- They know how to drive. The avarage semi driver is well above the average Joe SUV. When there is an accident with an 18-wheeler, the car driver is 9 times more likely to be killed.- If it is 16 times for an SUV vs. car, it must be like 160 times more deadly in a semi vs. car. Imagine what it would be if semi drivers were as poorly trained and as careless as SUV drivers. Probably worse than Iraq. |
