Oh I see. Yeah, it's tough. There are extremes on both sides. And it's not so much "sides" as a complex smattering of issues on which we all have varying opinions. Mandatory vegetarianism, for example, has been half-seriously suggested, I think in UK govt if I recall. To me that is just as criminal and violating as a mandatory draft for Iraq. Totally hear you, psychos exist on the health nut side of things too.

It's always a matter of perspective, isn't it. For example, I consider a backyard chicken ban an affront to personal freedom. But I wouldn't really care if drive thrus were banned. Someone else, considers drive thru bans an affront to freedom but doesn't give a rat's behind about a bike lane let alone pet chicken.

And that, my friend, is also a deep debate of its own, and why human politics has always been so difficult. We don't see things the same, and have to work together. So to paraphrase Doc, pretty please, with sugar on top, just build some bloody bike lanes and road crossings, and build smarter, so that we can bike to school or work or because the sun is shining and it's nice out.
