the price in some places is down to 1.70, though

It's funny, gas prices are down, and so are SUV sales. 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.

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

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.

Haven't you noticed the revolution includes the UK? Yes, we will
bringing Vauxhall cars to America. Are they any good?

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

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."

Actually this is how I started the revolution back in 1992 (at the
time of the Rio Summit)...

That signature means that he's ready to care for a sick patient, but
not for a sick world.

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 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

I agree
