This is the Bike Poll!
“Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only
get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.” - Will Rogers Well, what I mean is, we should approach the people and ask them, "Why don't you ride a bike?" If they say, "Well, because it's dangerous out there, stupid!" then the politicians go to work and fix it! But if they say, "Just because I'm lazy and stupid," then everything is left like it is. It makes so much sense, you know, that in the nation where everything is polled, we poll this issue, shouldn't we? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Republicans are represented by an Elephant, the Democrats by a Donkey, and we, the Banana Revolution, are represented by a Chihuahua.

I asked a middle-aged woman yesterday and her reply was "I'm too old to ride a bicycle." A few years ago, when I turned 40 (okay, more than a "few"), my step-father said to me, "You're going to be 40 soon, don't you think it's time you gave up riding bicycles?" that's why. They've been told all their lives that riding a bike is for children only. Pat in TX |

Roger Well, just as certain black people play the "race card" whenever it helps them (witness the manager of the Mets saying it wasn't his poor winning record, rather it was "racism" that got him fired), people over, say 50, sometimes play the "age card" as in : "When you get my age, you'll...." or "I'm 61, so you can't expect me to understand..." or "My 60-year old body can't..." You get the gist of it, I'm sure. I find these people just as disingenuous as the first group and I have no time for them. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do just because of a certain number of years! Pat in TX |
