How do they call those things with four wheels and a motor now?

who are these people who confuse states with cities and think
anybody will believe them? 12 year olds, I suppose?

On 9/22/2003 9:53 PM Joey Jolley spake thus:

Victoria, British Columbia, and Montreal are now car-free. Expect
Mexico and South America to follow suit.


Yeah, Mexico D.F. car-free--that's a good one, chortle chortle.

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.

But the use of four syllables when one will do is pure American.

British Columbia is a province, not a city. And none of the Canadian cities
listed is in any way, shape or form "car-free". As for Mexico and South
America, LOL!

But one continent is totally car-free----I'm surprised you didn't mention
it: Antarctica.
