Cal Thomas promotes bike commuting
Cal Thomas is a syndicated op-ed columnist, about as conservative as
the Pope is Catholic. Today's column makes the following points: a) The oil companies are good guys. They should continue to get $17 billion in tax breaks from our government. b) The US should drill for oil offshore, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, etc. c) "A slow transition [to non-oil energy sources] will also give us time to consider more fuel-efficient cars and greater use of public transportation, even bicycles for short trips. Bikes would help more of us lose weight and get in shape. A friend bikes to work every day, saving gas, car payments, insurance and repair costs." The first two points illustrate that he's not turned into a left- leaning softie overnight. The third point illustrates that it's not only left-leaning softies that see value in biking. - Frank Krygowski |
