..As it has been stated before, you live in the Bay area. It's also been

..About Bush and fossil fuels, well, the blame lies with both parties.
..That is a fact. I didn't see Clinton/Gore doing much in this matter.

..Yea, it would be nice if we lived in a perfect societ. I'm a idealist

..It would be nice if San Diego had a light rail system going down the

..drive my car. Much too early to ride my bike for me. Reality is

I wasn't aware that riding a bike is illegal before 5 am.
..Mike, being an idealist is nice, but it also can stress a person out
..when they can get others to follow their idealism. Reality wins.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
