You have no FAQ, so it's not off-topic. Besides, mountain bikers mostly drive
SUVS and so are responsible for global warming.

Where did he say that? Or are you so entrenched in the 2-party system that
you're blind to alternatives?

================
So, as usual you have nothing, eh mickey? Come on little-boy, try to
defend the vast waste of resources just to produce and deliver condiments.
Defend your inane usenet postings, afterall, the continued increase in
demand for power and communications are destroying more habitat, and killing
more animals than biking does. Why are you a part of that? But then,
you've already shown that it's not really about the environment, but about
your vitriolic hate of others.

Then people will stop living there when conditions become such that it
becomes too unbearable. In the mean time, the crocs will stay put as they
have for thousands of years.

You take such a narrow view of time ...

Hurricanes are the only reason I'd ever want to live in Florida. :)

But I guess I'll probably stay in California and enjoy the earthquakes.

I think its a choice between to idiots, bush and kerry but if someone
like you is voting for one that's an excellent reason to vote for the
other as the one you like could be as insane as you are.

He's blind to everything, except his own pathetically small(minded)
world. Here's what I wrote in another forum that asked which
candidate (of the lameo two party system) had the better bike:

"I beg to differ. Dubya should have a custom Moots, or other
high-zoot American bike instead of that trek garbage. Though it's a
road bike and the rider looks like a jacked-up Herman Munster, the
Serotta "gets my vote". As far as candidates go, I'm writing in Paul
Reubens. At least he's an admitted jerk-off."

You are apparently incorrect.

There _are_ crocodiles in Florida.

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Science/2004/06/08/490801-ap.html
(This article is mysteriously merged with an irrelevent one but...)

http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/nation/9115984.htm

It would appear that the crocs are pro nuclear power as well...

PS: Thank you for wasting 5 minutes of my time trying to find your

PPS: Also, thank you for drawing the connection between the dog and Bush.
I'd have never figured it out on my own.

PPPS: The above post-scripts are sarcastic in nature.
