Perhaps you're missing that governments rarely find solutions that are
not accurately characterized as one-size-fits-none. This, more than
anything, is why I do not understand how liberals can honestly expect
that their big-government philosophies can possibly be sustainable.

It seems they don't.
Toronto's subway system is 20 years behind the times.

We missed eachother on this one. I didn't refer to the country regarded
in the article but the country of mr Hunts residence. A guess would be
USA but since i dislike assumptions, i went carefully on that one.
Sorry for the missunderstanding.

Probably a good way for anybody to make a stolen vehicle report to
the police, and have that bike confiscated from it's rightful owner, and be
processed in the Court mills for years....
A lot of ppl have done that, I happened to me with a Honda Elite
Scooter, after 4 months, I had to go to City Hall to get the bike back, as
the police who stole it were indemnified of their act of total stupidity,
and lack of balls... >> Stay informed about: Photo -2 truck loads of confisicated motorcycles ! |

Actually, in Colombia, I think they have a different set of problems.
Years ago, weren't there a lot of "ride-by" shootings as part of the drug
trade where they had a driver carrying a passenger facing backwards with an
automatic weapon.
Such a duo could do a lot of damage and then escape no matter what the
traffic situation due to the small path required for a motorcycle.

Yes, that was in the rest of the posting which this dimbulb decided to
resurrect, after six weeks, before snipping the crucial part.
