I don't know Ann, I think this guy looks pretty stupid talking about automobiles as if they were essential to freedom and serve as some sort of guarantee of constitutional rights, when anyone who stops to think about it will realize that there were no automobiles at the time the Constitution was written and that the automobile failed, surprisingly, to single-handedly obtain equal rights for African-Americans or voting rights for women when it was invented.
Part of me says to pen a column about how the bicycle preserves my fundamental right to freedom (which this guy seems to define as "freedom from being in earshot of people I don't like"), but I doubt he'd publish it. > > > > Then I heard this guy, Terry Jeffery, interviewed on a radio show about > > the "threat to the car" (see his full article at link below), and how > > government is trying to force people out of their cars.
