So I guess people will have to ride bikes because they can't afford cars. Whatever the reason, the result is good, and I feel good... Yeah, that's why I get so depressed... the price of oil is going down. But then I remember that we are in the middle of a huge economic crisis and that the Big Three are trying to survive after producing so many fat SUVs, and finally I get happy. Did you see SNL this weekend. *They're the only real winners in this economic downturn because there's so much to spoof. In the Big 3 sketch, the CEOs tell Congress that they drove down in a car (gasp) and were SHOCKED to find that gas was 2 dollars, "we kid you not" they added, surprised at the unbelievably high price. Perfect, summarizes how out of touch they are. *In one blow. (I can't find the youtube of it) mk5000 " Everything's a dream when you're alone"--Swamp Thing:- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Perhaps they are so out of touch as those who live in gated communities. They have helicopters and jets to go around, so who cares about the danger SUVs pose to others or bike facilites. And then Obama, who's supposed to fix things, is only thinking about how to save the dinosaur. He can't do anything radical, right? Let me tell you one neat solution, BRING EVERY MODEL AMERICAN COMPANIES DESIGN FOR EUROPE Originally Posted by austropithicus "What exactly does this sentence mean?" It means that American companies design different cars for the American and European market. Not sure to what point Opel/Vauxhall and Ford are American, but they own stocks there and can certainly bring those models like the brought the Ford Focus. It was a great success even against the Japanese who were producing small cars without any character. |

I also give the US a 3 because of its lack of a health care system. the US doesn't lack a health care system. *It lacks an inexpensive one It lacks a UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, while being the most wasteful in the world. Finally, I give the US a 3 because of the lack of improvements in communications and transport infrastructures. Instead of laying more fiber, all the telcos and cable companies either are, or will be soon charging by the bit. So, we are paying more for services as opposed to less as time progresses, and this is not do to inflation. Roads too. Take Austin. Most of its highways are proposed to end up as toll roads (and of course this doesn't mean your commute time gets shorter... just you pay 75 cents for the privilege of looking at another car's bumper going home.) There's an article I posted a few years ago about a guy who believes that many many roads should go private. *The article was really well written and it makes sense. *Google being as screwed as it is, I can't find anything anymore in its archive. *But the argument was right on. I've said the other day, let BIKE FACILITIES BE PUBLIC AND ROADS BE PRIVATE. At least we would have room for bikes, right? *** See what I mean? I was being too soft on uncivilized behavior of all sorts. It sure seems to be heading down, but maybe, just maybe, Obama will change things... Well, I don't know but he's the last hope that we've got before Armageddon or the Revolution. Of course, I prefer the Revolution. I'm indifferent to the options at this point. It's coming soon either way. The Christians believe in it, so I believe the revolution is coming soon too. COMING SOON http://atom.smasher.org/streetparty/...ution%21& l4= |

the revolution would be if you actually built the public transportation to enable people to ride it, there's not enough of it for your proposed revolution to work Oh, I have the idea that all this big money that goes to save the Big Three from their own stupidity and greed, should be put to work toward public transportation and bike facilities. It would be good and it would create great business and employment opportunities, sure to save the economy. 1. INCREASE THE PRICE OF GASOLINE, such as in Europe and Japan. The revenue so raised could be used to IMPROVE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION*, from fast trains to the creation of BICICLE LANES along all major streets. *"A massive public works project that did not expand the deficit would help; something like a massive clean energy program or nationwide high- speed rail network financed by new taxes on pollution and fossil fuels. A more progressive tax system would help as well. Both seem inconceivable since the Bush administration wants to spend public works dollars on Mars not earth, and Congress that has just enacted tax breaks that exacerbate the wealth gap." http://www.eugenelinden.com/news280.html Actually this is how I started the revolution back in 1992 (at the time of the Rio Summit)... http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote6 |

The US has the worst health care system in the world because it is so expensive. Who can afford it? If Obama gives us a health care system that is universal and affordable, that would not be such a bad thing.

"marika" wrote in message news "Edward Dolan" wrote in message news:i5CdnZEjosWufLPUnZ2dnUVZ_sTinZ2d@prairiewave. com... Marika is without doubt the dumbest female bitch ever to infest Usenet. I can never figure out what she is blithering about. Maybe if she would post a picture of herself, we could discover if she has any redeeming features at all. So far, she is a complete zero. how awful I am so sorry but you are not getting a photo of me. It's bad enough that you fantasize about me in your rape fantasies. I'm not giving you a photo to allow you to stalk me even more The only fantasy I have is wanting to kick your dumb ass since that is where I think your brain is located. If you think I am stalking you, just stop posting and you will disappear off my radar as though you were never there. JimmyMac is the Stalker of these cycling newsgroups. All I ever do is just kick ass! Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
