In America's class war (yes, I used the dirty "C" word we're taught doesn't exist), Cars and Cash rule over Bikes and Bravery....
Still, I am someone... just like the owner of the pretentious pos suv, luxury car, or "all-american" pick up truck, and pay my taxes just the same. Today my choice is to drive the roads I pay for on a human-propelled vehicle, non-polluting, and almost exclusively below the safe speed LIMITS! WITHIN THE LAW.
And, yet, I/we are stigmatized for not serving the overt, aggressive, oil-consuming, polluting, convienence buying, insurance enabling paradigm paraded as "success"....
I observe limits on my behavior, to the benefits of myself and 99% of others.... I would argue that it is 100% of others, but the 1% (and their witting/unwitting minions) see it otherwise....
