So what else can you tell us about this phenomonon? I'm all ears.

Obviously he is thinking about 75 MPH Segway type unicycles

With sophisticated electronics vehicles will need only 4 ft on a side of
space on the road. That means at 75 MPH about 300,000 vehicles per hour
per lane vs. the present 2200 with cars.

It will be so efficient that all cars, trains, and busses will obviously
have to be banned from all cities and replaced with high powered Segway
unicycles :-)

No, forget that--it's time to implement the Rolling Roads!

Old farts who used to listen to old radio shows will know what I'm talking
about. ("The Roads Must Roll")

It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but
don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman
Podhoretz or William Kristol. They're the clowns capering about in front of
the donkey and the elephant. The donkey says the UN should clean up after
them, and the elephant now says the donkey may have a point. Somebody has
come out with a dustpan and broom.
