DRIVE CAR!!!!!
\_ Yeah, but all those male bikers will become impotent,
leading to lower population, which in turn leads to lower
resource usage by human race. Aha! You know what they
say, you counter a stupid argument with another stupid
argument.
\_ "... energy savings due to the use of human power for
transportation may be offset by the increased energy used by
living longer due to better health."
Ah yes. I guess one can also argue that smoking is GOOD because
it reduces the lifespan drastically thus reducing the need
for prolonged medical treatments associated with natural aging.
In fact, ATOMIC BOMB is good for mankind because it reduces
the number of population that will pollute. Ok I get it. Thanks.
\_ DROP ATOMIC BOMB!!!!!
\_ Smoking is not good for any reason, it's just so goood... -John
\_ Do they account for the higher likelihood of bikers dying
when they get run over by cars?
\_ I'd rather die on a bike than live in a car. Seriously.
\_ Well, get to it man! We don't have all day!
\_ 1) They don't have a higher likelihood of dying in an
accident than drivers (per exposure hour).
2) Read the paper. -tom
\_ Until we kill all the people, the world will be unsafe from further
human inflicted harm. |
