Syt, why do you think the source you posted shows fatalities per 100,000 of population for automobiles but not for bikes? Also, why do you think it doesn't show government expenditure as a percent of distance traveled?

The fuck do I know?

Do you have any guesses?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I honestly don't know. Maybe it was easier to get that data?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I have one guess:  you didn't read the fucking chart very well, Bundy.  Unless "Cyclist Fatalities" under Safety and Health is German for "Not Bicycles".

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

SiriusXM are a bunch of pests. I get a free trial with the new car and they care calling my home and bugging the shit out of me.

I've gone to DefCon 3.

Best DefCon ever IMHO. Something for every defecation nut. And great venue.

Brian Williams of NBC News is catching shit for fibbing about being downed by enemy fire in Iraq.  Turns out his helicopter was 35 minutes behind a chopper that went down.

I saw that and think that he does deserve a rash of shit. It would be one thing if he "misspoke" once but it is something he has done on several occasions.

Stories get exaggerated.  Didn't Hillary get in trouble for claiming she landed on a shelled runway or something back in the 90s?

He has totally destroyed all that credibility that the NBC family of networks carefully built up in recent years.

IIRC she said there were bullets flying in her area while she was there.

I found out from the State of Ohio that they somehow owed me $32.  THANKS KASICH

Also I've been getting it free for several years now.  Apparently the old school Sirius unit in the garage was turned off so long it missed the deactivation signal.
