Clearly, the tickets-for-cyclists movement has acheived a major victory here. If this policy can be maintained, all the many social ills caused by cyclists, which have been so eloquently documented in rec.bicycles.soc by my friends the Spandex Pharisees, will be cured in short order. --Michael Smith

The F-----G BASTARDS! Geez this stuff pisses me off. I still feel guilty when I have to take a car instead of ride somewhere. Why don't we ticket the farmer for placing his barn in a distracting place? We have a political party here called the McGillicuddy Serious Party, with several hundred members who all stand for parliament and generally have a high profile with their television friendly antics. Their policy is generally along the lines of doing away with technology and reverting the country back to feudalism and pasturalism. Last election they covered all the tricky problems like the ozone hole, local unemployment, road deaths and even the great helmet debate by advocating a complete ban on cars. Sounds good to me.
