Major party affiliation turns the best of eggs into turkeys. <br /><br />Even if I don't vote though, I have a right to complain. I like to call that right the First Amendment, ymmv. Not voting is a type of complaint, actually.<br /><br />I also have a right to praise, though, so thanks for all the hard work from the pro-bicyclist members of the council, and to Barb, John, and other vocal advocates. Bicycling is noticably improving, despite setbacks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-8090565421623273782011-04-25T07:47:58.260-07:002011-04-25T07:47:58.260-07:00Glad you are back on the bike...=-)Glad you are back on the bike...=-)Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-5682498666236643872011-04-25T07:28:23.427-07:002011-04-25T07:28:23.427-07:00Can Ben flatten the earth on my commute?
It'...Can Ben flatten the earth on my commute? <br /><br />It's called South Hill. Just flatten the uphill, though, I like the downhill part. <br /><br />"Vote Ben and It's All Downhill From Here." Maybe that sends the wrong message.<br /><br />Will there be a pump track benefit for Ben? That would kind of cool.<br /><br /><i>This comment brought to you by Roid Rage Inhalers, for the aggressive driver.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-52736935285635296352011-04-25T07:14:48.437-07:002011-04-25T07:14:48.437-07:00If bike people don't stand up and speak out fo...If bike people don't stand up and speak out for candidates they believe will do a good job for bikes, those people won't get elected.<br /><br />And then.....<br /><br />You get what you vote AND WORK FOR, people. <br /><br />And that does mean donating cash, known as the mother's milk of politics. If you think money is what's wrong with politics, since we don't have publicly financed campaigns you can think of it as donating to a cause in which you both believe; one of you will get the chance to vote on that cause.<br /><br />(From a once-upon-a-time elected official, back when I lived in Idaho)<br /><br />PS: There's a bumper sticker that applies--guess we need a pannier version: If you didn't vote you can't complain.Barb Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000768706045663322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-19412537656887514952011-04-24T21:30:57.483-07:002011-04-24T21:30:57.483-07:00"Flat Earth Index".
