=v= I do keep on top of the nation's bicycle news, and I got
word of this from reputable sources last September, when it
happened. Such sources did not attempt to turn this tragedy
into some kind of support for their agenda of spreading fear
about an insane concocted fictional Bermuda Triangle scenario.
(For the record, one data point proves nothing whatsover, hard
as that may be for insane scenario-concocters to comprehend.)

=v= Let me also add that I would never dream of abiding by any
imperative "Read ..." statement from this lunatic, who first
went by the name "Millenium Twain" and is now rotating his
moniker so as to insult Tibetans, primates, beaches, cruisers,
philosophy, majesty, comandantes, and the venerable banana.

=v= I hope to disabuse this character of any delusion that I
bother to read any of his stuff. In fact I usually employ a
convoluted tangle of Lisp to ignore not only his (generally
totally off-topic cross-)postings and any subthread that he
participates in. The downside of this approach is that I have,
over time, stored this nutcase's every Message-ID. Given his
obvious OCD and shear output, it has grown into a *plonk*file
of enormous proportions. I have cleared it out to start anew,
which is why I'm even in this thread.

=v= So in conclusion, go and do likewise, share and enjoy.

In case you followed the news as you claim, her mom is trying to
change the laws because drivers get away with misdemeanors while
cyclists are fair game to all kinds of reckless drivers.

Tell you what, big part of the problem is that cyclists are worth LESS
THAN DOGS when they are hit and often abandoned. Unless we make
DRIVERS RESPONSIBLE we will keep being road kills.

Just that the world needs more beach cruisers and fewer SUVs. Imagine
we could get all those Fat Asses on bikes!

It's not the kind of preaching you hear in church.

"Hey you fat asses, where are your bikes? Now go home and don't come
back until you come in a humble bike. Don't be an ass! Stop whining
over Jesus and do something, for Christ's sake!"

So you don't believe my hypothesis that God made cockroaches to be
tougher than man because he's a cockroach himself?

I can understand why he made mice but not roaches. Or maybe, as you
say, God doesn't care at all about anything. Or it may simply be he's
not real.

(I think Christians won't understand half of this since their brains --
according to recent studies-- fail in understanding complexity. But
it's simple, we need to raise taxes!)

Sorry, I don't mean to endorse Christian mentality. Raising taxes can
be moral when it goes to pay the wars endorsed by the Christians...

"Higher taxes today have the moral advantage of accepting
responsibility for today's decisions. We didn't do that for our
current middle-eastern wars. Higher taxes on the wealthy have the
beneficial effect of redistributing income to those who are less
productive because they are poor."

Big Cockroach (god) made this world by and for cockroaches. Before the
dinosaurs, there were cockroaches. Big Cockroach even wiped out the
dinosaurs so that cockroaches could fulfill their destiny to conquer
the Earth, not live in the shadow of the big beasts. And Big Cockroach
said we are living now in the last days when the cockroaches will
inherit the Earth without competition of an evil species that uses the
Orkin Man against them.

Yes, they are waiting in the shadows! And they fear no Climate Change
or Nuclear Holocaust...

Actually, they might be upper class material, at least they are
