while i hate regulation in general, i love the idea requiring people to ride a bicycle in traffic before obtaining a drivers license as it’s a free mode of transport… given you have a bike which there lies the problem with that one. as usual more regulation costs everyone more money.
as for the lincoln statue i’m ashamed to say i’m from louisville with that thing going up. disgusting.
wait. what’s wrong with the lincoln memorial? i missed something…
lincoln being a racist war mongering politician is no man i would like to see idolized in our or any other city. the man was happier seeing over half a million americans killed in the civil war in preservation of the union among other things. lincoln was not the loving do good saint standard american history portrays him to be.
i see. wow.
Jimmy, maybe you could provide a reference or three?
William,
1. The Civil War
over 1 million casualties to prevent 11 slave southern slave states from excercising their will to secede from "The Union"
