It's no secret the Christians keep us in a nice cage... but we need SPACE

to ride a bike or even walk around, and then you must get on another
cage and drive everywhere, where you too become part of the problem.
Hey, WE NEED SPACE, you know what I mean? SPACE, SPACE, SPACE...

Meaning: 1. Twisted, crooked or bent, as a wry face. 2. Humorous with
a clever twist, as a wry wit.
This qualifies as wry humor?

I just can't why the animals still go around hunting each other for
food or space.

Oh no, I'm talking also to the groups where men talk (or rumor) about
revolution. See above.
I am aware of all those problems and yet I remain somewhat optimistic
that *we the people* can bring about the necessary changes by
reclaiming the space taken away from the cyclists at the beginning of
the automobile era.
ALL WE NEED IS TO *TAKE THE LANE* IN A COORDINATED WAY AND STAY THERE.
That is our place. The cars must go around you on the other lane and
watch for you.
If the small one must watch for the big one, which takes already takes
the lion's share of the road... we would be ruled by the Law of the
Jungle.
It would like the Taliban, but a Democratic Taliban, without any hope
of change.
There are no troops coming to rescue us, only our capacity to MAKE
NOISE can bring us the SOLIDARITY that we need.
