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>.
