Great! Way to go old dutch dude!

We in the US would probably get more of this kind of citizen policing, if there was a gun ban. Too bad the founding deists did not have the fore site to define the second amendment, not as the "right to bear arms", but as the "right to bear a long rifle, knives, swords and a bayonet".

This quote got me--
Cycling is very popular in the Netherlands. The famously flat country has more bikes than people with each resident riding an average of more than 900 km a year.


If all us licenced drivers, (190,625,023) replaced 559.23 miles driven with 559.23 miles biked, they would save 13.32 Billion dollars a year. Or 7 billion off of the gross domestic debt.


900 km = 559.23 mi
Number of us licensed drivers in 2000: 190,625,023.
559.23 X 190,625,023 = 106603231612.29 miles not using gas.
106603231612.29 miles / ave fuel economy = 20 mpg = 5330161580.6145 gallons of gas saved.
5330161581 x 2.50 a gal = 13.32 Billion Dollars a year.
