Tadej, we are fighting the predators of the jungle through their
symbols of power and status.
I don't promote monarchy though, just monkey democracy.

But you promoted yourselves from plain commandante to illustrious king!
How does that go along with your democratic strives towards banana republic?

No need to put the wannabe lions in cages, just throw them back at their
natural feet! ;.)

Oh tanks, I've been looking for the video.

The point is that 40% of trips in America are under 2 miles, PERFECT
FOR RIDING BIKES...

So it's NOT even that we have to get rid of the evil SUVs overnight,
but we can take up biking for short distances.

And if you do one good thing, then it cancels out the bad thing, and
you are OK... Get my point?

Well, things were different before 2000. There was a sense of duty and
patriotism. This war is about oil and SUVs, period. Or you may have
signed up before 9-11, in which case you didn't know how to get out.

My statement though is not meant to be an insult, but a reminder to
those monkeys who want to join the Army.

Forget about democracy, the sheep vote for the lions, and are not
interested in what war is all about. "Just do the job quickly," they
say. Well, it turned out to be neither quick nor cheap.

The monkeys need to be reminded that they are neither lions nor
sheep...

What kind of drugs might one take to cause them to refer to a motor
vehicle as a sports utility vehicle?

There ain't nothin' sporting about yer Ford Exploder, while bicycles
on the other hand do seem to be central to some sports like racing and
X-Games.  Heck if riding a bike isn't a sport why do you gotta wear
them goofey assed britches and that stupid helmet to do it?

There ain't nothing utilitarian about a vehicle that consumes 25% of
my gross income to operate.  The venerable wire donkey on the other
hand eats so little and carries so much.

Motor vehicles are indeed a tool of the devil, and the devil's best
weapon is to obfuscate the true nature of things.  To attach the term
SUV to a motor vehicle is the work of the devil, clearly.

They gave it an appealing name for marketing, but their true nature is
better represented in: Selfish Unnecessary Vehicles.

I don't know, but I get the feeling that this is one of those famous
phrases for posterity...

"To be able to survive on a bike you must both have the patience of
Bhudda and the rifle of John Wayne."

(Try the patience first. Unless you believe to be in the Wild West,
and then "the quickest draw wins." Now guaranteed by the Supreme
Court.)

No, you can't please God and the Devil at the same time. If
there's no evil in SUVs, then who's evil, the driver? Well, there
has to be a hope for him, some incentive, right?

It's better you drop the SUV, but some are just "elitist" riders.

That's true. Most of the world regards SUVs and evil.

That's not even coherent. Do you have some meds you're supposed to be
taking?

"Most of the world regards SUVs as evil."

Is that hard to figure out?
