I have to step out,
After last night's pedestrian issue, where I tried to make a turn, and a gaggle of freshmen stepped out in front of me, and I had to wait while they stopped in the middle of the road to figure out whether or not I was going to hit them (I was tempted)
This morning in the
b0st0n community there was a new community pimped, advocating active retaliation against drivers and cars who get in the way of bikes and pedestrians. I commented about my experience, and it has BLOWN WAY UP, not by me, just in general.
I can't even read it now, it's getting heated. The original poster has equated drivers who "don't respect bikes" as racists. It's disgusting. There may be BIAS (lord knows I hate bikes) but RACISM?????
so yeah, I need to stop reading it. I'm about to start speaking in German and invoking Hitler.
The guy just told me I'm taking his "cars who bother bikers are racist: statement "too seriously" See, I just need to start hitting people with my car.
I WANT A LICENSE TO KILL!
*sighs*
*grins*
me work now - bye bye
