Done! He has always returned my emails and phone calls so I expect a response.
I am sure he would like to convert you Chris so I doubt he would ignore you just because of your political affiliation :) Yes, big government does not need to tell us how to ride a bike (the list can go on and on) or how to get along with others. We just always need to be respectful to each other (all people). Cars need to respect us and we need to reciprocate (which we do). Bottom line the more uncivilized we become as a society the more government we need to police that lack of civility. Road rage is just lack of civility. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Chris > Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 7:18 PM > To: North Raleigh Cyclists (Gyros) > Subject: [Gyros: 15357] Bonehead "two abreast" law makes it out of > committee > > Apparently the "two abreast" law discussed in today's N&O was > unanimously advanced out of the Transportation Committee in the NC > Senate today.
