Billy, I assure the best revolutions are yet to come. Forget about
Chavez and all wannabe lions. The monkeys will be free, the marijuana
will be legal, and the bicycle will be the vehicle of choice. The
streets will be safe, not wild like in Caracas or Mexico. And we will
bring experts from Curitiba.

I just bought a bike with that slogan and nobody will stop those
revolution. Burning oil is part of the problem, not the solution.
Check these names out: JALAPENO REVOLUTION (spicy!), AREPA REVOLUTION
(MOIST, HOT CORN PATTY).
No bullshit. Look at this beauty...

No thanks, that fool claims that the CIA killed JFK without a shred of evidence.

Nope, just another fuckwit politician. And thats no revolution anyway.

He took the money and stayed instead.

More fool you. Have fun listing even a single revolution that worked.

Yeah, we must do something different that takes care of real problems
like lack of room for bicycles, public transportation, homelessness,
Gated Communities and the legalization of marijuana. No left or right
politics.

Look at the funny picture they gave me:

These are actually open debates in Google Groups for the whole world
to read. Since some of these topics are related to Miami, I try to
keep you posted. Otherwise they go, "Why don't you go to the
community?" and I can show them the link.
In a way this is like fishing: You never know when you can catch the
big fish, but sometimes you are just wasting your time. Then you know
you do it for the sport. It's actually fun, and the jungle is
dangerous. I rode today to South Beach and back. I know it's kind of
suicidal, so the computer is just an escape.
My rating of the bike facilities once you get there --if you get
there-- is mostly positive and I was rewarded by that magnificent view
from South Pointe. It's there that you realize that all the wisdom of
Buddha is insignificant and that "Life's beach." All you need is a
beach cruiser and some safe roads, which, of course, are coming
soon. ;)

True, but there many industries that are high in profit: THE WAR ON
DRUGS, THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY, THE CHARITY INDUSTRY, JUNK FOOD INDUSTRY,
THE CAR INDUSTRY, THE OIL INDUSTRY AND THE BULLSHIT INDUSTRY, AKA
TELEVISION & HOLLYWOOD.
The biggest losers are THE BIKE FACILITIES AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
(if done like in Curitiba). As you know, cycling can be done with
peanuts and it's healthy, so it may be a way not to feed the lion...

profits)

In the West, there have been stirrings of dissent as the scale of the
economic crisis becomes apparent and the reassurances of the
mainstream media - that good times are just around the corner, come to
sound ever more threadbare. Students, and young people in particular,
have already shaken off the wishful passivity of the previous
generation. But for the most part the outrage and sense of betrayal
have expressed themselves in ways that pose no real threat to the
governing establishment or the opulent minority who control it.
The Tea Party in the United States and Conservatives in Britain
promise change while working to ensure that everything that matters
stays the same. The right in both countries has benefited from the
failure of their centrist opponents to address the fundamental causes
of recession, unemployment and social breakdown. It is as though the
entire political establishment has adopted the stultifying uniformity
of a one-party state. There is a bankruptcy of policy and of principle
that will, perhaps, finally compel us to take matters into our own
hands.
In the presidential campaign of 2008, Barack Obama never tired of
telling voters they were the change they had been looking for. The
people of Tunisia and Egypt have turned a clever slogan into an
undeniable fact. They did not wait for permission to take action. If
we want another world we must all learn from them.
Can we look beyond the stereotypes offered by our media, and see that
the Egyptians and the Tunisians are now daring us to be free?
Yes, we can.
