So, your comment about the smaller, family managed farms is more "forward-thinking" than anything this Dick came up with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568869136353160438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555091.post-48463413701702807122007-09-05T11:49:00.000-07:002007-09-05T11:49:00.000-07:00Doesn't it just irritate the hell out of you when ...Doesn't it just irritate the hell out of you when you watch a professional and know you could do their job better and more efficiently?<BR/><BR/>And btw, to address one of his "points", some farmers are indeed finding it more profitable to use 19th century equipment and draft animals to work smaller plots of land.<BR/><BR/>Note the bicycle photograph used for "framing the debate" and how it suggests a slow and outdated mode of transport simply not suited to modern times. I guess a video loop of a skinny middle-aged guy passing up a gas station and 20 cars queued-up for a controlled intersection would send the wrong message.Smudgemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303716097523565767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555091.post-13001313889526027512007-09-05T10:45:00.000-07:002007-09-05T10:45:00.000-07:00I'd like a clean-coal powered Hummer.

It is embarrassing to see a congress-person who represents us, stand up and show such ignorance and stupidity. <BR/>He actually wasted taxpayer dollars to stand up there for 3+ minutes and criticize riding a bike? With all of the issues in front of us today and knowledge of direct contributors to global warming, environmental pollution and global unrest, he actually thinks a persons use of a bicycle to run errands (for instance) is a stupid choice. An idea not worthy of his support. <BR/>And his solution is to build more nuc-leer power plants?<BR/>Sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568869136353160438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555091.post-50190707620861042692007-09-05T05:30:00.000-07:002007-09-05T05:30:00.000-07:00Bikes are one thing, but this congressman looks li...Bikes are one thing, but this congressman looks like he is trouble! check out www.patgobyebye.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555091.post-73367175824282961862007-09-04T22:21:00.000-07:002007-09-04T22:21:00.000-07:00For a measly million dollars, aren't bicycles real...For a measly million dollars, aren't bicycles really only a part of the solution?<BR/><BR/>Besides, 19th century technology had a lot going for it. We made a frittata last night in a cast-iron skillet that was pretty damn tasty. I believe my light-bulbs were conceived back in the day. Three-axis control of aircraft by the Wrights was a 19th century design. Wireless communication, evolution theories, pasteurization, repeating rifles, motion pictures, dynamite, etc. <BR/><BR/>The list is long and impressive when you think before speaking. Wait, I'm not making this up.Smudgemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303716097523565767noreply@blogger.com
