If you think about it the average Western consumer should be put on addiction programs for OIL ADDICTION. Yeah, all that oil is feeding injustice and terrorism in the world.

If I don't humor her, who will? know that you are supposed to be "humoring" but what does this all mean?-Besdies that it is supposed to be funny? "Humoring" means to string you along for the dolt that I know you are. I do it because of the sense of noblesse oblige which I feel toward my inferiors such as you. Have you seen No Country for Old Men? I'm pretty sure you must have--but if not-please do I have seen it. What point to you want to make in connection with it?

(Hey, somebody is reading this, right? Deep study of human behavior is
taking place) To know human society... poke with a stick at an ant colony I often think of myself as a monkey poking a stick at an ant colony to observe its behavior. Well, there's a science that comes from that observation, which can answer fundamental questions about humanity... "We can not know where we are going unless we know where we came from" -E.O. Wilson http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=97547749 "Wilson came to believe that humans, like ants, are genetically designed to live within natural limits. It is becoming increasingly obvious that those limits are directly related to reduced energy use and consumption of natural resources, family planning, and cooperation among societies, rather than competition." http://www.mtexpress.com/index2.php?ID=2005121653 *** But I think big Ed is more interested in roaches than ants... Originally Posted by jfmckenna "I always preferred the magnifying glass to the stick." The stick is meant to cause some kind of reaction. When observing roaches though I change the stick for the shoe. Roaches show me that they operate in the dark and that they like to eat anything. And they are more individualistic than cooperative ants. Perhaps ants show leftist tendencies while roaches show Republican leanings. |

(I'd hate to leave out of the revolution, guys, so here's an update)
Originally Posted by -=£em in Pa=- "I think we should try to attain the status of Brazil before shooting for Switzerland." You have a point there, particularly if we talk about the Curitiba model for American cities... Curitiba's Bus System is Model for Rapid Transit By Joseph Goodman, Melissa Laube, and Judith Schwenk Bus systems provide a versatile form of public transportation with the flexibility to serve a variety of access needs and unlimited range of locations throughout a metropolitan area. Buses also travel on urban roadways, so infrastructure investments can be substantially lower than the capital costs required for rail systems. As a result, bus service can be implemented cost-effectively on many routes. Yet, despite the inherent advantages of a bus service, conventional urban buses inching their way through congested streets don’t win much political support. The essence of a Bus Rapid Transit is to improve bus operating speed and reliability on arterial streets by reducing or eliminating the various types of delay. The bus system of Curitiba, Brazil, exemplifies a model Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, and plays a large part in making this a livable city. The buses run frequently—some as often as every 90 seconds—and reliably, and the stations are convenient, well-designed, comfortable, and attractive. Consequently, Curitiba has one of the most heavily used, yet low-cost, transit systems in the world. It offers many of the features of a subway system—vehicle movements unimpeded by traffic signals and congestion, fare collection prior to boarding, quick passenger loading and unloading—but it is above ground and visible. Around 70 percent of Curitiba’s commuters use the BRT to travel to work, resulting in congestion-free streets and pollution-free air for the 2.2 million inhabitants of greater Curitiba. http://www.urbanhabitat.org/node/344 *** You know what, I'm going to make a wish list, such as I'd make for Santa, just that this is a to-do list for the revolution. I say "the revolution" because I don't think these things can get accomplished by regular politicians... 1- low crime by decriminalizing drugs 2- good public transportation 3- traffic safety 4- BIKE FACILITIES 5- littering control 6- low cost, high quality healthcare, based on prevention 7- fast trains 8- no more gated communities 9- noise pollution control 10- eradication of homelessness (add your own petition) |
