Ya know...I don't check this stuff often and was quite surprised to see that people actually were looking at my blog. Nobody comments. :( I like comments. Can people comment?

Don't let that jerk get away with it!

As America Continues to Tank, What Will You Do?

When we are born, we are born free. As we grow older and are shepparded through public schools and out into the work force, we begin to face the realities of a centralized society – one that continually tries to collectivize people's time under a life-long bond to the State. It is as if there are fields full of gallows with fresh nooses swaying gently in the winds of time awaiting the necks of all the fresh blood entering the workforce. The heads slip in and the serpent-like noose fastens itself – for life. And once a person succumbs to the pressure, they lose their abilty to think. For who has time to think when one's life (time) is constantly being robbed by a collectivist State?

THE DAILY BELL 
There is no freedom for anybody. Everybody is stuck in a kind of rat race. Work for money. Work for fortune. Work for desires. Everything for money. Money rules society.

To the Riders of Trimet

I completely agree. That is one of the most irritating things about riding TriMet's bus lines that actually have good  service.

Idiot motorists swarming the roads

Clackamas authorities seek tips in fatal hit-and-run | Bike Portland
This time a young bicyclist was hit and killed in the early morning hours of July 30th and the driver drove off without a care.
Of course it was a fancy, shiny car that the motorist was driving.

Why not prevent incidents BEFORE they happen instead of after?

TriMet increases police presence in light of recent attacks
The police presence should have already been in place so things like this do not happen in the first place. Why can't those brick heads figure that out and act on it instead of waiting for people to get hurt first and then do something about it for a little while?

PUBLIC TRANSIT AGENCIES DON'T TRUST THEIR OPERATORS

This transit agency has cameras to put the bus operator on constant surveillance while driving and has fired over 20 drivers.
