It would probably be hateful and egocentric and arrogant and close-minded like many of the people in the NG. So all-in-all, I think I'll stay where I am and continue to enjoy myself and my environment. |

People here have been much more tolerant and open-minded towards you than you have been towards them. You have been the egocentric one. You keep insisting that how and where you live is how other people live. Here is the proof: >So all-in-all, I think I'll stay where I am and >continue to enjoy myself and my environment. How egotistical is that? You live in a place that most people are leaving because there is no work there anymore, leaving behind what their taxes built. People wouldn't even care about that, but then, you brag about how empty the roads are where you live. That's egotistical. Here's a clue for you, Pat. If you lived where the population doubled every 20 years and has been doubling every 20 years for the last 80 years, you would know that the roads can't possibly keep pace with that. All the roads and streets would have to be widened every 30 or so years to keep congestion down. I think that even you would admit that it can't be done. And when people say, "Can't be done, there must be a better way" you chime in with "Well I don't understand what the fuss is about, I don't have any trouble." That's egotistical. |

The primary difference is that you (and others) keeps saying things like "if YOU lived..." or "if YOU did" or "people should..." or "the world would be better if..." and I say things like "I think that I will...". You think the whole world revolves around you and that other people should comform to your thoughts. I think that I like living how I live, living where I live and doing what I do. Liking my life doesn't make me egocentric -- if makes me sane. You think "I don't like such and such and people should change to correct it". I think that if I don't like such and such, either I change it or I change myself. It is because I think that you have the right to live as you like (within reason and the law) and I'm fine with that. |

Is it time to quote Mrs. Petersky again? I think it is: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So, apparently the compelling question is, how dangerous is cycling compared to other activities of daily life? A 1999 study in Britain of emergency room incidents came up with these statistics: While 172 cyclists were killed in 1999, 5,945 people were hospitalised after trouser-related accidents and 13,132 from injuries inflicted by vegetables and 96,000 from accidents occurring while they were sleeping, relaxing, sitting or lying around. Here's more: "The trend was balanced only by the drop in injuries inflicted by armchairs, down from 18,690 to 16,662. Nevertheless, armchair injuries 'leave little room for complacency', New Scientist says today, adding that injuries inflicted by vegetables 'remain unacceptably high' at 13,132. Hospital admissions caused by socks and tights rose from 9,843 to 10,773, while birdbath accidents almost trebled to 311." You should also note that tea cozy injuries nearly doubled, from 20 to an alarming 37. 146 were hurt using bread bins and 329 from toilet roll holder related injuries. So, what are you going to do? Vaguely worry about the dangers of cycling while being stuck in some malodorous steel box in an interminable line of cars, fuming at your sorry situation? Or be on your bike, out on God's Green Earth and be free! ------Message-ID: <GOcjb.775490$YN5.759183@sccrnsc01>----------------- -- Dane Buson - sigdane@unixbigots.org "The young always have the same problem how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another." -Quentin Crisp |
