Re: If I had a revolution I'd swap cars for bikes

Sounds pretty Orwellian to me. But then again, this would be in
keeping with being a Citizen of the Socialist Revolution. Giving up
liberty, freedom and self determination for the collective good."

You already do when Big Brother issues you a ticket for speeding. And
yet you get away with intimidating bicyclists and pedestrians as well
as drivers of smaller cars.

In Germany on the other hand you can run as fast as you want in many
(safe) places, and yet they give you a ticket for, say, chatting on
the phone.

I don't see the problem as much as having a Big Brother, but having
one that only cares for the big, fat, reckless, stupid drivers.

Of course, the same ones that have money to burn and vote for oil
drilling --and war.
