"The bicyclist is under attack from all directions - the streets are
ragged, the air is poison, and the drivers are angry."
It's like a jungle out there for bike riders. And the attack comes
from the top and from the bottom... Lions on SUVs*, given to
zigzagging around and yapping away on the cell phone, threaten them
from the top, and rats from the underworld steal their wheels if not
their bike to sup****t their crack addiction. And then you re****t it,
and it goes into oblivion. So it is that cyclists must stay in
constant alert for predators, like the monkeys of the jungle.
"Have you ever wondered why s****t utility vehicle drivers seem like
such assholes? Surely it's no coincidence that Terry McAuliffe,
chairman of the Dem-ocratic National Committee, tours Wa****ngton in
one of the biggest SUVs on the market, the Cadillac Escalade, or that
Jesse Ventura loves the Lincoln Navigator. Well, according to New York
Times re****ter Keith Bradsher's new book, High and Mighty, the
connection between the two isn't a coincidence. Unlike any other
vehicle before it, the SUV is the car of choice for the nation's most
self-centered people; and the bigger the SUV, the more of a jerk its
driver is likely to be."

Life in the jungle ain't easy...
RIDING A BIKE COSTS PEANUTS
OK, since the lion (for whom =93peanuts=94 is not im****tant) refuses to
listen to the monkey asking for bike facilities,* let's scrutinize the
secrets ($$$) of the political jungle, where =93democracy=94 is the word
of choice=85
"The highest measure of democracy is neither the 'extent of freedom'
nor the 'extent of equality', but rather the highest measure of
participation" -A. d. Benoist
Then I'd assume that 50% of the American public and 80% of the young
who don't vote do not live in democracy. Or perhaps they see it as a
waste of time --and money.
=93Remember the Golden Rule: Those with the Gold, Rule=94 (saying)
=93The Best Democracy Money Can Buy=94 (title of book)
And this one...
"Freedom is when the people can speak, democracy is when the
government listens" -Alastair Farrugia
Oh, that one was so good. So let's see: The monkey can cry all he
wants but he will be ignored. Tough life that of the monkey.
Other quotes...
"Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is
silence about truth" -Aldous Huxley
That one was deep. We all live in the lie (notice the word =93lie=94 in
li-
on). And look at this one...
"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they
don't have any" -Alice Walker
And this would threaten the order in the jungle...
"Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the
rulers" -Aristotle
And here they must be talking about the lion...
"The wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in
front of it" -Axel Munthe

hope you use them responsibly and don't start a revolution.

*Riding a bike is good for the environment, great for peace, and
excellent for your health. We need facilities, though, like BIKE LANES
to be safe.
WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION?
(T-****rts to help you survive in the jungle, no kidding)
