A couple for you:
1) How often do you get asked "Do you have a license?"
2) When was the last time you drove your MV to work or school?
The reason these I ask these question is this. The other day while at
work I had a small conversation with a co-worker about how far people
are willing to drive to work, the price of gasoline and the mileage cars
get. And at one point I commented on a car I would like to own, but
costs more than I am willing to lay out for that type of car, and my
co-worked asked "Do you have a license?", to which I replied yes, and
then she said "So why do you ride your bicycle everywhere?". I said to
save money on gasoline, to get exercise and to cut down on the our
dependence on oil. She said "Oh, I thought you couldn't drive or
something." to which I said yeah that is a common misconception about
people that use bicycles as transportation.

I nolonger drive period. I refuse to be sold the idea that I can't live
without a car; gave it up in 1986 and have never looked back. I
currently use a modified EZ-3 for my daily commute to work and back. I
have a trailer I can use to haul back upto 30 gallons of groceries if I
so desire and most of my other needs are within a two mile radious of
home. I also have a regular bike I sometimes use just for fun; I call it
my sports car.

good for you. im gonna do that soon. it's hard to let go of my old mopar
that still hauls all kinds of stuff once in a while, but i agree there's no
reason to buy that idea. you can live without a car, it's just a matter of
priorities like anything else. for sale: rare '64 v-100 sw HP/6 4bbl, 3.25

Chicago...or even Atlanta pizza over NYC any day.

My band went on tour this summer [1] and I must say, I probably saw more
cyclists there than any other town save Portland and Seattle. And I'd
be more than confident that I witnessed about equal percentages of
cyclists in all three of those cities.

Cycling aside, Chicago was a very lovely place. If it wasn't cold and
windy, it'd be high on my list of places to live in once I graduate for
real.

I worked for Beckman for about a month and got written up for punching
in 10 seconds late because there was a line in front of me. There was an
ice storm that made driving nearly impossible so everybody was running
late. That was in the Portland, Oregon area and also the last time I
ever punched a time clock. It took the supervisor all of about 4 hours
to review the time cards and call me into his office and start his rant.
I told him to eat [censored] and walked out before I really blew it and
punched him and not the time clock. That made up my mind to move back to
California, quickly. I feel sorry for 'ANYBODY' who works at Beckman in
any state. They treat all employees equally, like dirt.
I had to get that out. Beckman just plain sucks.
Bill Baka

Billy, you were goint to get blown out anyway with your admitted
terrible atitude toward co-workers. You just gave them the
non-litigatable excuse they needed to can your sorry ass. Management
probably was running a pool on how long it took you to go postal. What
kind of Neanderthal resorts to physical violence? You're a total
Dunce.

Once again you prove you are a total moron. My coworkers were wonderful
and even gave me a baby shower when my daughter was born. It was the
management that sucked back in 1978 and still does. This genius was
about to punch the boss when he stood up and leaned over the desk to get
directly in my face, which I do not advise. If you want to be somebodies
white '[censored]' go right ahead, as it seems that you are qualified.
Please excuse the 'N' word but I think it applies.
Bill Baka

Well, well... The use of that word under any circumstances is
shameful. Just goes to show what a POS you really and truly are. That
company, any company (I'm sure there were many), are better off that
you were fired. BTW, you're no genius, your an idiot; although you are
the smartest person on Planet Baka - Population 1.

people as I have known some that fit the definition. The
African-American population still takes offense since the southerners
still have an attitude towards anyone of color. I don't.
You also apparently can't read and comprehend, since I said I quit and
walked out. My coworkers tried to convince me to stay but I won't work
for a boss or a company like that. Why I talk to an idiot like you I
don't know, except that I must be bored.

That is complete [censored]. If someone used it on me, I would burst out
laughing. To use the "N Word" on a white is completely meaningless.

I do have black friends as well as white and while they tend to not like
the 'N' word they do agree with me that they have seen a lot of white
"N's". I am not racist and in fact my locker mate in high school was the
only African-American kid in the whole school at the time. Eric
Washington was about half white and one of the nicest kids in my school,
better than I can say about some of the white [censored] that went there.
I have a problem with all the illegal Mexicans that won't bother to
learn English, causing me to lose a few job offers because I didn't
speak Spanish. I try to be nice to them and help them out but it is a
bit hard to communicate with hand signals and only a half dozen words
that I know or they know of English. I have worked with blacks,
Mexicans, Chinese, East Indians, and more. The Chinese and East Indians
at least bothered to learn English and the blacks were born here. The
hardest workers of all, interestingly, were the East Indian women.
Why would I be racist? I was born in Chicago with a large black
population and never had any confrontations with them. I used to take
the Metra rail into downtown when I was 13 with a friend of mine and we
talked to them all the time, back in 1962. They were actually very nice
to us since they knew that as kids, we knew nothing about civil rights
or discrimination.

True story. I defended him against some of the actually prejudiced kids
there, but didn't hang out much with him. We had lunch in the cafeteria
but I never saw him after school.

News flash,
I just took my granddaughter to the park for a long walk and met 2 of
her friends from school, one pure black and the other only 1/4 black,
and I wound up talking with her for most of an hour about racial
backgrounds. She said she identifies mostly with her 1/4 black because
she is also part Mexican, part Irish, and more that she doesn't even
know. She also told me that the biggest racial issue the kids at her
school have is the Hmongs that the United States imported for their own
protection. Even the not quite whites have issues with each other. If I
was going to be racist it would not be against the blacks since it is
not their fault they are here. I do have an issue with illegal
immigrants and the Hmongs who are responsible for most of the gang
activity in this area. I was watching a herd of kids when a bus load of
Hmongs got off the school bus and ran off the white, black, and even
Mexican kids who were there. They refused to even talk to anyone.

1) This posts doesn't make you sound very racially tolerant. But wait,
you're not in the South, so I guess you have insider info that makes
this informed rather than bigoted.

Well?
Tell me Bill, how is the South so much more racist than the rest of the
country? What makes NYC, Boston, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Dallas, Denver, LA...etc doing that make them *not* racist?

Tell you what. Go down do Georgia Tech's campus and witness a school
that represents well over 100 countries and you find out for yourself
where the racism in this country comes from --> hint: everywhere. I
would like to point out that 98% of GT students get along quite well,
and the other 2% keep their mouths shut.

What the hell are you talking about? Racists are all over this country.
Hmm...what's that? Riots over integration in Boston? Apparently
not, since racism only exists in the South, where it's perpetuated by
all southerns.

(Hot tip: 90% of the racists I've worked with down here migrated from
the Midwest or the North).

You really come across as completely ignorant sometimes.

And NO! that term did not apply there. Maybe if you spent some real
time dealing with real racial issues, you'd know that.

I'm sure Billy was talking about the those that live in the South on
Planet Baka... wait a minute... Billy's the entire populace which
would make sense.

I concede to your stupidity. I am not going to waste the group bandwidth
on you anymore.

"group bandwidth." Yes, please don't waste it as we are having a hard
time with all these HUGE text files being laboriously pushed through
the ether.
