How scandalous... You are peacefully riding a bike in Holland among
the beautiful gardens and all of a sudden you find this...

"a gay couple kissing in a flowery field."

Well, I hope you don't get offended by sexuality, which seems to be a
feature of Dutch democracy...

"Sexual democracy becomes central even more than religious freedom
when discussing the Dutch vision of democracy."

http://www.bidoun.com/issues/issue_10/05a_all.html

And I believe that the fact that the Greeks created democracy and that
they had very liberal views about sexuality is more than a historical
coincidence. Religious censorship and democracy are at odds. Real
democracy is built upon other issues that improve the quality of life
for all, for example fighting poverty or building BIKE FACILITIES,
another area where the Dutch excel.

"In the Gospels, Jesus himself never mentions homosexuality. And he
seldom even discusses sexual sin. In contrast, the Gospels are full of
Jesus' teachings against self-righteousness, greed, pride, bigotry,
sexism, racism, and hypocrisy. Like Amos and Isaiah before him, Jesus
roundly condemns the rich and powerful who exploit, cheat, or ignore
the poor. For Jesus, immorality had much more to do with economic
injustice than with sex. He taught a morality of love."

Presidential? Election?

Nope, don't get it.

Mr. Charles Kennedy (Krankieburgh): Would the Prime Minister
care to comment on a report in today's Guardian that he: "arrived
late for a meeting with Jacques Chirac, smelling of alcohol, and
with body language suggesting a total disregard for the rights
of ethnic minorities, lone parents and laboratory animals"?

When Lord Bedford re-planned Russell Square gardens to Humphrey
Repton's original design outraged letters were sent to him from the
gaymosexuals who said the bushes offered a splendid opportunity for
touching each others' bottoms and so on, and how dare he countenance
removing them. Jacqui Smith and her badly- packed kebab remain
curiously quiet on this issue.

mean to put it in uk.cycling ?

No, it's about the presidential elections in the US. More
specifically, about making BIKE FACILITIES a presidential issue,
instead of homosexuals and other red herrings.

Believe it or not, this country dictates the issues for the rest of
the world. And, needless to say, while billions of dollars are wasted
in fighting terrorism, there will be nothing left for bikes and other
real issues.

Yep, it's a kind of show they put together every 4 years. Several
actors compete to play the main character. Of course, it's totally
fictitious.

Perhaps we can even suggest an act for the show called the "Dutch
package." Homosexual rights and bike facilities in one neat package.
Because what people care about homosexual rights if they don't get
something in return?

It all fits one big picture... The Greeks invented gay liberation and
democracy (but not the bike), but the Dutch found a great use for gay
liberation, democracy and the bike, and America, well, America found
use for none.

Afraid of being called names?

Real democracy is based on abolishing apartheid based on power source.
