������ So -- how to get rid of what McLuhan has termed "shiny beetles" - humans encapsulated in their carapaces creeping along damaging their psyches, the environment, the ozone hole, and most importantly, spewing noxious fumes into the air *I* breathe! Disgraceful! Everyone talks about it but nobody does anything about it. Just yammer yammer yammer. I don't know if the BAM (Bicycle Anarchist Madpeople) are still doing their thing, riding their bikes REAL SLOW on Friday rush hours, but if so they can be at best only a temporary solution.
������ What is to be done? Timothy Leary once suggested that groups of earth friends come out at night and chop holes in the pavement on the Santa Monica Freeway and plant flowers in the dirt below the smothering asphalt demonic layers. A temporary solution at best. In the Netherlands anyone caught trying to drive a car is forced to dismantle their automobile and then EAT it piece by piece. Nice solution if you've got the willpower to enforce it.
������ The only solution I can envision is to set up Gurkha checkpoints at all the bridges from Jersey and politely but forcibly turn back the traffic. That's a start. Then hire a battalion of those big Samoans like the one in The Italian Job to set up checkpoints at every major intersection in Philly and "discourage" motorists - send them back to Bucks County or wherever these demonic forces are flowing from. Once we get all the cars out of the city they can have their "car chases" and destruct themselves out in the sticks all they want until they run out of gas. Won't bother me a bit. We'll bring in all our supplies by Hovercraft.
