Opus, I know you are a true survivor, and as such you deserve more
respect than anyone here who hasn't been hit by an enraged driver and
let to bleed.

Think of A BEAST THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL, totally wild and
unpredictable. What do you need as the tamer? A TREAT and a WHIP,
right? Well, that threat is a good whip, but at the same time we must
reward them and make them think. A BICYCLE MEANS ONE FEWER VEHICLE ON
THE ROAD, more space, someone that could be him...

It would be a tough fight for survival unless we coordinate a
worldwide campaign to take our own share from the lion's share. ;)

We are not asking for the lane, ONLY if we are there.

I don't see a big issue with wearing a vest, and it could take away
the excuse so often heard of "I didn't see him." Remember, the speed
differential could be too great and they may be talking on the phone
(another problem to solve).

Something doesn't add up? Probably because you aren't Jesus, the
pope, or Buddha Cola, go get a job.

I'd be feeding the Hungry Lion... My infinite wisdom tells me to stay
in the hammock and Internet.

Infinite wisdom? What if the gov't didn't pay you to stay home and
not work? Would your infinite wisdom be able to feed your face?

So you mean YOU work because YOU must survive in the jungle?

Should you feed the jungle? Should every citizen of a communist nation
work hard to pay what the government "gives" them?

That's the mentality behind communism, comrade. ;)
