"lemming suicide is a frequently used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with popular opinion, with potentially dangerous or fatal consequences." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming *** That would be religious behavior.

(I quote) We know well that Jesus, like the prophets of Israel before him, did not succeed in his prophetic mission. He suffered the fate of the prophet that he himself had described (see Mt. 23:29-36). He died as the victim of the Empire in collusion with the Temple authorities. If the story had ended there we would have proof that his prophetic mission was a fools errand rather than a divine commission, a quixotic dream that could not come true in the real world where evil can only be handled by force. But the story did not end there. God raised Jesus from the dead and Jesus committed his prophetic mission to his followers. http://rosemarieberger.com/2010/01/07/sr-sandra-schneiders-whats-a-prophet-part-2-of-5-with-discussion-questions/ *** The question is whether you want to believe Jesus was raised or not in order be Quixotic. I don't, so he was Quixotic in a suicidal way. Buddha was another Quixote, and so the Wise Tibetan Monkey.

Money is wasted in cathedrals or anything that is crazy and impractical. I can't leave my door on a bike to do anything, and yet they built a "million buck fancy mixed path" along the beach for some people to make big bucks. That's part of the BANANA REPUBLIC we live in.

Something equivalent to the Baghdad Road. I wrote about it yesterday... (I reply at bottom) Quote Originally Posted by Jess I do ride Collins north of 20th street.

Not that I have been to Baghdad, but I assume many people are afraid to drive there. Now, there are some neuralgic points in this Miami Beach road, that make it nearly a suicide mission. One is the connection at Alton Road and Collins over the bridge, and Bal Harbour, again over the bridge. Riding on sidewalks is banned in Bal Harbour, but not anywhere else, which shows JUSTICE IS *NOT* EQUAL FOR ALL. Not that I want the beautiful people to remove that ordinance, but that it should be enforced everywhere. So, how can anyone claim that there's passage for bicycles along Miami Beach when some important links are missing in that chain. Chain is the right word because it's a broken path of bike lanes, bridges, and crazy traffic that makes stupid to do so. Who wants to die over doing the right thing?
