Oh? In which alternate universe do YOU live?

Oh no. Madison, Wisconsin and all European and Canadian cities
are going car-free all right and you know it because it is a fact.

Apparently the OP does not live in his alternative universe alone! (How
about something like tangible proof of your insane allegations?)

Clue: both the O.P. and "Mike Donovan" post from Google Groups. The
alternative universe seems to have a population of 1.

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.

Check the addresses; it's the same person (and is the same person who trolls
a good number of other newsgroups as well). He does not deserve a response
and should not be "fed."

OK, folks, time to try a different tactic here.

So I agree with you 100%: Madison, WI, plus all European and Canadian cities
*are* going car-free. And I think that's a good thing.

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

I tried that approach about a year ago. Didn't work. Good luck though.

Obviously he is thinking about 75 MPH Segway type unicycles

http://www.popsci.com/popsci/auto/ar...489828,00.html

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")

I remember reading that story in a scifi anthology when I was a kid in
school. How was it done for radio?

Easier on radio than TV - all they needed were suggestive sound effects,
no visuals. People were more accustomed to using their imaginations, in
those days - they didn't have to have it made visible for them.
(Although that doesn't mean I didn't prefer seeing it all on Star Wars,
Star Trek and Babylon Five, etc.)
