Advocacy & Safety - How about those polls

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Seems we've been inundated with polls having little if anything to do with Advocacy & Safety and more target at increasing T-Shirt sales

I haven't sold one to you guys. If me livelihood depended on you, I'd be long ago begging.

But you don't want to face the issue that advocating for bikes takes a whole comprehensive approach to the all the problems out there. They won't give you bike facilities, for example, while transportation is not even an issue in the national elections.

T-shirts are for the Revolution and the Revolution is for all you can possibly dream on two wheels. If that's too much for you to pay (even though I don't make a penny on it), go on and die for no cause.

Sorry to say, you will never get it from the sheep that vote or from the lions they put in power. It's not their priority.

You should put that on a t-shirt.

DQ is all about spam. The revolution his shirts are about is the jingle in his pocket book. As a British acquaintance is fond of saying about spammers and trolls, don't feed the thrush.

What a coincidence, I've got a similar strategy: DO NOT FEED THE LION! (a good reason to ride a bike) :rolleyes:

Severe behavioral changes resulting from benzodiazepines have been reported including mania, schizophrenia, anger, impulsivity, and hypomania.[56] Individuals with borderline personality disorder appear to have a greater risk of experiencing severe behavioral or psychiatric disturbances from benzodiazepines. Aggression and violent outbursts can also occur with benzodiazepines, particularly when they are combined with alcohol. Recreational abusers and patients on high-dosage regimes may be at an even greater risk of experiencing paradoxical reactions to benzodiazepines.[57] Paradoxical reactions may occur in any individual on commencement of therapy and initial monitoring should take into account the risk of increase in anxiety or suicidal thoughts.[55] Paradoxical rage reactions from benzodiazepines are thought to be due to partial deterioration from consciousness, generating automatic behaviors, fixation amnesia, and aggressiveness from disinhibition with a possible serotonergic mechanism playing a role.[59]

Psychiatry is a science of repression. They treat the black sheep, not the common sheep, who are more crazy --and stupid. :rolleyes:

You and Tom Cruise should get together.

I however reject what Cruise believes in.

In other words, I believe the truth is beyond any cult, and is found... in the jungle.

That's a fundamental truth: The Law of the Jungle. That's how I recognize the lions of the jungle, and see the need for the monkeys to cooperate.

Hey, a troop of monkeys on bikes can start a r-evolution. :thumb:

Have you read "The Road to Wigan Pier"? You might want to as you'll see it's about coal miners living in subhuman conditions, not poser revolutionaries who are trying to sell t-shirts. You see Mr. Orwell actually went and lived among these coal miners to experience their lives so they could give an authentic report of their lives. You and almost everyone on this board live in utopia compared to the conditions these men and women experienced. You quoting that book in reference to anything in your life is pathetic.

Well, different times have different problems and different solutions. In order to raise hell about conditions now, it woudn't occur to me to think slaves had it worst. I think in terms of what we could be having now that we don't. And in many respects, I believe the present time to be more grave than any other time, not just for a group of people, but for the whole species. Not for nothing the Bible says we are living in the Last Days, even if we have different interpretations of it.

The fact that we needlessly keep polluting, for example, demands a quicker solution than slavery in 1861. Yet we proudly keep driving SUVs like nobody cares. And we make it all worse, we cyclists are denied safe space on the road. And all of this is happening while the very endless wars that Orwell warned us about are draining the resources that could go into alternative technologies and infrastructure.

So it is that this age demands a change in thinking as well as the priorities that we have. Thus the need for the revolution! :thumb:

And you think the way to acheive a bigger investment in bicycle infrastructue and alternative energy technology is to demonize soccer Moms, SUVs, and promote gun use?

Good luck with that, but most revolutions are brought about by actually doing the thing you are trying to promote, living off the grid and urban homesteading to promote energy independence, working at the city council level for biking policies, and actually riding your bike and working with others to promote cycling infrastructure. Again, what if Rosa Parks had only worn a t-shirt or given out a flyer about the bus?
