<<Why in the world would you respond to a troll like this>>
The whole point of public discourse in the press, it to exchange dialouge. This is how ideas are exchanged, and hopefully the public is educated. In this case, it is an opportunity to change minds, about the right to use the roads using whatever form of transportation we so choose.
It is a basic constitional right to free speech, and if that right is not excersed, you loose it.
