Pedal Power
OK, you might not go this fast, but if you live inside the city limits of Elizabeth City, or within a reasonable distance from work in general, you too can ride your bike to work. I’ve been doing it off and on for about two years now and everyday for about a month and I can’t get enough. And I’m expanding my distances to include chores that do not require a large storage space for hauling items. And, yeah, it’s hot out but that shouldn’t deter you because if you keep water handy, you too can do it without overheating. I’ve said it before, I would like to see lawyers and doctors (you’d think docs and health care folks would be the first to ride) don those two-wheel wonders and start peddling.

Yes,pedal power may be the up and coming thing and we can thank The Congress of Our USA. The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say, ‘We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven’t even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy.
We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!
While I am here I would like to thank you
for the following:
Not developing your 250-300 year supply
of oil shale and tar sands. We know if you did this,
it would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you infidels.
Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchasesof oil sands from your neighbors to the north.
We love it when you confuse your allies.
Thanks for over regulating every segment of youreconomy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.
Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, inAlaska, and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.
Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this shamprogram! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with theses types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD.
Have them use more energy to create less energy,
and simultaneously drive up food prices. Thank you U.S. Congress!
And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for our benefit.
THANK YOU AMERICA!
