That's a dangerous governor, I tell you.
Opus, use the Wisdom of the Jungle or common sense and you will see
some hidden dangers on country roads. Firstly, they don't expect bikes
there. Secondly, they may be half sleep. And thirdly, you won't
receive any aid in a hit and run.
I think we have to survive in our Urban Jungle waiting for a miracle.
Well, it's not miracle if we work together to make it happen. ;)
What are the news of the day, according to your record of incidents
and accidents, which are not accidents but preventable incidents.
Incidents are close calls and accidents require a lawyer or
undertaker.

Anecdotal may not count but a couple decades ago I was heading north
out of Tampa and was almost struck [< 1"] by a car doing 90 mph. I
watched and waited for his brake lights to come on as there was a
short narrow bridge and another motorist about 1 mile ahead.
The brake lights never came on and I heard the crash a mile away.
When I passed both had pulled over and I yelled "learn how to drive,
you almost hit me back there" to the guy in the rear. I went to the
end of my loop and returned as usual. When I got to the accident
scene each vehicle had a crowd around it. The middle aged guy in the
front vehicle saw me and said, "sir, this guy claims he's a sheriff's
deputy . . ."
I nailed the brakes, pulled over and said loud enough for everyone to
hear. "I'm an expert witness. He was going at least 85 mph, probably
90. Here's my home phone number, office number . . . "
For months after that the cop, even when he was in his cruiser, would
blair his horn as he passed.
Every now and then Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office will get
caught in some sordid perverted incident that'll make national news.
It's a systemic problem.

Yes indeed. Blaming some individuals doesn't do justice to the size of
the problem.
Anyway, right here in Florida wild things happen all the time, and we
hardly have the time to swallow it, let alone the energy to fight the
system. Can we blame the driver or the system? You be the judge...
"Mr. King came to us from Prescott, Arizona. Others arrived from
Michigan, Canada, Wisconsin, Oregon and points north, south east and
west. They came here from far and wide because they all shared a
common passion.
They came to Bike Florida because they ached to round a bend on a back
country road and suddenly find themselves passing beneath a vast oak
canopy draped with silver Spanish Moss all aglow in the rays of a
rising sun. They came here to see crystal clear water gushing up from
the ground and running away in glistening rivulets, like so many
liquid jewels. Some came because snow still covered their favorite
bikeways back home. And others came because nobody is going to tell
them they are not still capable, no matter their age, of cycling 40,
50, 60 or even 70 miles a day, day after day. Or even a century if
they have a mind to.
Robert Paul King rode among us and with us. Until that moment shortly
after noon on Wednesday, March 30, when he was among us no more. Mr.
King was killed after being struck from behind by a fast-moving pickup
truck. The driver, a young man, reportedly told police he had dropped
his cell phone and was reaching down to retrieve it when his vehicle
drifted into the marked shoulder where Mr. King had been cycling."

That's the only hope we got. The warning above about Global Warming is
the truth and yet you Christians choose to ignore it. Satire is like a
whip to expose the lion for all to see. Yes, organized religion is yet
another lion.
We can name a few different lions:
1- Corporations (Big Oil, Junk Food Industry, Medical Industry)
2- Political (it's all about money and reelection, baby)
3- Religion (the charity industry plus the role it plays in "Family
Values" and other political bullshit)

Just as they believe in prehistoric myths, their brain reflects
physical differences that make them unable to understand complexity.
"Essentially, they found that liberals have more gray matter in a part
of the brain associated with understanding complexity, while the
conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing
fear."

Just think for a moment.
How are you going to be after death ?!
Can you believe that this exact system of the universe and all of

Have you thought, for a second, How to save your soul from Allah's

It is religion of Islam.
It is the religion that Mohammad-peace upon him- the last prophet, had
been sent by.
It is the religion that the right Bible- which is not distorted-has
preached.
Just have a look at The Bible of (Bernaba).
Don't be emstional.

U.S. Military Launches Spy Operation Using Fake Online Identities
Online Persona Management
The Huffington Post Amy Lee First Posted: 03/17/11 02:11 PM Updated:
03/17/11 02:11 PM
The U.S. Military has purchased software designed to create and control
false online personas in an attempt to use social media and other
websites to counter anti-U.S. messaging.
According to the contract between US Central Command (Centcom) and
California company Ntrepid, the software would let each user control 10
personas, each "replete with background, history, supporting details,
and cyber presences that are technically, culturally and geographically
consistent." The software would also be able to let personas "appear to
originate in nearly any part of the world" and interact through
"conventional online services and social media platforms," while using a
static IP address for each persona to maintain a consistent online
identity.

In a world that God gave us, with laws of nature that Darwin explained

It appears to me that nature produced several other creatures at least
as ugly, though less-considered-to-be vermin.
>Something to think about before you crush the next cockroach that

Cockroaches have been here 300 million years and survived many severe
planetary climate change emergencies including the one that made dinosaurs
extinct. They are said to be in good shape to still be here after even a
bad case of a nuclear war.
How do most supermarket-available spray insecticides kill tough urban
roaches after mere decades of slight evolution not even forming new
species? You have to smash them with the spray can!
Mice have a place in nature heavily to be food for the many creatures
that eat mice. I think roaches are a lot less cute and less intelligent
and more robot-like than mice. I doubt I injure my soul much by killing a
roach, as long as I don't go out of my way to torture it or deploy any
especially-torturing kinds of poisons or traps.
There is also the matter that stepping on roaches will not exterminate
them from this world if nuclear wars and the planetary cataclysms of the
past 300 million years can't.
