I couldn’t resist. I just posted this at Riehl’s:

Gee, Dan, that means you’d have to take public transportation more often, meaning more chances to beat up on pre-schoolers!

Dan is afraid that you might make him ride the bus with a bunch of ‘technical thugs,’ who might hate crime his earholes by saying critical things about Republicans where he can hear it.

If you hate-crime the earholes of an asshole by saying things he doesn’t want to have in his brain-hole, where does that put you?

Ack! World Car Day
Dan Riehl is about to cough up a furball.

My comment there:

My wife and I are currently living in London for a few months. We have no car, and absolutely no need for one, although I can imagine that if we lived here permanently we might occasionally rent one for a day or two. Much that we need is accessible on foot: several grocery stores, some retail outlets, a bunch of restaurants (including several that deliver), a half dozen pubs, the local branch library, a gym, a barber shop, a beauty salon, a couple of newsstands, an internet cafe, an OTB (actually, we personally don’t need that, but it’s there) and more besides. And we are living in the far southern suburbs, not in central London.

We are not even a five minute walk from a tube (subway) station, which is also a bus hub (3 regular routes, including one that is in service 24/7, plus a night route). All of London is available by public transportation, 24 hours a day. While not cheap, public transportation in London is still much cheaper than maintaining a car, and much friendlier to the environment. And we usually get where we’re going faster, generally much faster, than we could in a car. Yes, we have to share the tube and the bus, and yes, if we travel during peak hours, we might have to stand, and yes, if we absolutely have to go somewhere at 2:00 am it’s a little complicated, and yes, occasionally there are people who are loud and express opinions we disagree with, but so freakin’ what? We’re adults, and we understand that all of life isn’t designed for our personal convenience, and that we share the planet with others who are actually just as important as we are, and that future generations who will look in disbelief and horror at the way we squandered the world’s resources. We own cars back in the US just because where we live it’s essentially impossible not to, but we use them as little as we can, walking, biking, or taking public transportation whenever possible. Maybe it costs us an hour or two a week in transportation time, but the exercise alone will probably add a couple of years to our lives, and in a small way it helps the world.

And finally, what do you imagine the elderly or handicapped do when they can no longer drive, and there is no reliable public transportation? And they live miles from the nearest grocery store, doctor, dentist, or barber? This happened to both my grandmothers (my grandfathers died young) and my wife’s grandparents. Fortunately there were relatives around to help them out, but not everyone is that lucky.

It’s funny they’re complaining about this.

…It’s not like they linked to anything at all in the US about it, just the faux dateline.

…Wait…

Do these guys get paid per trackback link, maybe?

B. S., I have been urging that for yrs., but what will we do w/ all the bodies?

I might make a suggestion.

PS, in my town there are carob trees on every street. So… You don’t have to walk far (not even as far as the corner store) to get a carob bar.

First tilting at the art windmill, next tilting at the traffic awareness windmill. They are just about at the bottom of the barrel now.

So… You don’t have to walk far (not even as far as the corner store) to get a carob bar.

Making kids feel ripped off is not a local industry to be proud of.

They are just about at the bottom of the barrel now.

I’ve been thinking that everyday for 8 years.

The car culture is very much like conservative culture- it’s the illusion of freedom, accompanied by an increased dependence on, and subservience to, corporate overlords (put succinctly-freedumb!!!)

As an added bonus, reliance on public transportation forces one to interact with a wide cross-section of humanity, with the subsequent breaking of race/class/social barriers that are central to the wingnut Weltanschauung.

Can we have a World Asshole-Free Day?

A lot of people are gonna gain weight.

Traveling by public transportation is teh horrors for conservatives. A Repugnant “friend” of mine is constantly amazed that I can “lower myself” (not his words, exactly, but really, it’s what he’s thinking) to take a very excellent, cheap & easy bus to work most of the time. It’s rarely even crowded!

Like all good Repugs, he is secretly afraid that he might come in contact w/ “undesireables.” I’ll leave it up to you to define the term.

Per the post re living in London: here, here! I have spent substantial time there in the past, and it’s fantastic to live somewhere you don’t HAVE to have car to get around. I stayed often w/friends in Tooting Bec (south London), and it was pretty easy to get to most places I wanted to go. But yes, that did mean I had to come into some kind of “contact” with, shudder, shudder, “all sorts.”

Feh. Senior citizens would be much better served by having convenient, accessible public transportation. In case you aren’t aware (said ironically in comment to that dumb article), many seniors can no longer drive – or feel afraid to drive at night – and they are seriously constrained and hampered by having little to no access to public transportation.

In my city there are pine trees on every street so you don’t have to walk far to get Pine-Sol.

It helps if there is decent public transportation to begin with. When I worked in the Maryland burbs just outside of DC, I took the train to the metro (conveniently located across the street) for a couple of years. The problem was that the particular train line I took traveled on tracks owned by CSX which meant that the commuter trains ran for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon. They were also terribly unreliable in poor weather. I made the smart decision one year of taking the Metro down to Union Station when work was closed due to a snow storm and caught my train at there. It was the only train out.
I can only compare that with growing up outside of NYC in New Jersey. The trains ran every hour on the hour for most of the day and 1/2 hour during rush hour. They also hooked up with the PATH station in Hoboken which made it easy to get into the City. Bus service was also very good.

In my city there are palmetto trees on every street so you don’t have to go far for… um… err… ummm…. a little hand job?

Speaking of Orly:

I don’t know if this letter came from her, since she is in Iraq now and the Office -max store from where it came, states that they don’t send faxes for customers. The signature on her notarized letter from Kansas and this letter looks different.

Top that! (Orly probably will.)

Can we have a World Asshole-Free Day?

Hmm.

Huge reduction in freeway traffic, especially Suburban Assault Vehicles.

No apparent impact on mass transit ridership.

Increased freedom from Rand-reading buttholes bothering you in bars.

Huge, huge, huge decrease in Internet traffic.

Stubots collapse in on themselves.

Huge swaths of white space in newspapers across the country, especially in the Wapo and the Grey Lady.

Wall Street Journal evaporates into thin air.

Cheeto inventories skyrocket.

Spam plummets.

Trolls, what trolls?

Sadly, No! reduced to Tom Brady fanboy posts.

Are there “palmetto bugs” everywhere as well?

Now that’s a nym, you leftist Obama-worshippers!!

“‘The car-free lifestyle itself requires other motorized vehicles, which deliver everything from organic flour to fair trade coffee.’”

Everybody knows that if there’s any vehicle traffic at all, it’s just like if we were all driving 6 MPG poorly-tuned SUVs one person per.

Sigh.

Hey, Dan! I walk to work every day and my employer gives me free access to public transport – my car died two months ago and I don’t miss it at all! So you have to drive twice as far today to cancel me out.

If that painting had a word balloon, it would say “DUUUURRRRRRRRR!!!!!!”

RE: palmetto bugs – no such creature exists. What there is, is giant disgusting fucking FLYING ROACHES. Fricken’ roaches 3 INCHES LONG.

Living without a car is an excellent way to loose weight. After my car threw a rod, I was afoot and abus/train for a couple of years. Lost 25 pounds in 3 months and didn’t gait it back.

I think its the idea of -oh nos- exercise that horrifies the conservapigs.

Pere Ubu – there’s this stuff called MaxForce granules that the giant flying roaches LOVE to eat. And it doesn’t kill them right away, so they go back to the nest and poop, and then when the baby roaches eat the poop (you did know this, didn’t you? Hmmm? Yes, baby roaches eat roach poop – lovely creatures) and then the babies die too. I still occassionally will get one that gets into the house, but I don’t even see too many of them outside since I started feeding them.

Hmmm. Keep in mind that while I’m not huge, I’m pretty big and deliver these loud and, as appropriate, with faked rage. Making a scene always helps. My goal is most often to render further conversation impossible, so:

“Sure I’ll vote for your candidate. Just blow me here and now as a preview of his administration.”

“Why stop at bombing Iraq and Iran? We could be bombing the IRA, the IRS, and my uncle IRA.”

“CEO do deserve all that money. No fucking way I want to waste my time robbing the middle-class.”

“Socialized medicine is ridiculous.” Hawk and spit to the side. “And all this crap about germs? Who believes that?”

And the old standard, “Fuck you and your god.”
