     Gee, Fred, sounds like a personal challenge.  Too bad I don't have 
either a gun or a bike.  If I had either one, I'd expect to be able to use 
it -- maybe to the point of using one to defend the right to use the 
other.  I think freedom is the issue, not someone's convenience.

     But I'm afraid I have the same unreasoning prejudice about those 
little cars that have been foisted on us ever since the bogus oil crisis 
of the late '70's.  I just want to run them off the road when they get in 
my way, and with mandatory insurance, there's hardly an incentive not to, 
except my usual good nature <snarl>.
