		<title>Comment on Dutch Cycling Federation wants airbags on the outside of cars by jeff</title>

		<description>Hi.  Please join the Bicycle to Work! LinkedIn networking group.  Members pledge that they will try to ride their bicycle to work or on an errand at least once a week.  Although the benefits should be obvious, let me outline them here. 

    Right now people in the industrialized world are facing two very grave problems: obesity and a growing scarcity of oil.  Compounding this problem is the new food shortage brought about, in part, by the conversion of food cropland to bio-fuel crop production.  Most people feel powerless to help, but there is one thing that we can do.  Ride our bicycles to work. 

    If everyone would agree to ride their bikes to work one day per week we could cut oil consumption by as much as 10-15%.  No one would argue that riding a bike burns more calories than driving the car.  Although popular politically right now, most bio-fuels consume more energy than they produce.  We would be much better to eat those bio-crops then use our own energy to transport us around. 

    So spread the word.  Make it a movement!  Bicycle to work one day a week and do your part to cut back obesity and the overuse of oil and precious cropland. 

    Just go to my profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreylstevenson  and you can click on the group to be included.  While you are there, don't forget to ask to link to my network of more than 7,000,000 like-minded professionals.  I accept all invitations and look forward to meeting you.

		<description>i had some measure of similar reaction.  but i have to question the statement, "the rest of the world remains a hostile environment."  where are you writing from?  i agree violence is more prevalent in some areas than others and i think we should consider what those more dangerous areas have in common.  i think artists as much as anyone are overwhelmed by injustices and feel the need to take extreme measures, but with contemporary culture, we all have to start at zero.  there is not much wisdom carried down through generations anymore.  i think this hitching project stems from the sincere good-hearted idealism of youth and could have been tempered with some old timers' counsel.  very sad story.</description>

		<description>I must commend you for standing up for freedom of speech.

Most of the commentary I've seen about Jack McClellan has been a tad histerical.  It's hardly likely that he molests children, for two reasons.  First, he is worried about vigilantes, not the police.  Second, the police have presumably investigated him and found no evidence of criminal activity.  So what we have here is a rather strange, but harmless, individual posting stuff on the internet.  No big deal.</description>

		<description>Sadly enough, it's not just about Jack. He is involved with a, large, highly organized social network for pedophiles. I outlined the online relationships and their websites a bit today in my blog:

		<description>I use to have compassion for individuals who were "brainwashed" by the likes of "Rudi McRomney" and cousin "Freddie"  Plus Dem Relatives "Obama" and "Hillary" (all of them CFR Globalist?)...  However, now I can only feel sorry for them..

Leadership is Action Through *Example Not Position...

(It is not a position of power nor being in the right place at the right time, neither define leadership).

It is defined by setting the example through taking action on such Leadership Traits as Truthfulness! Honesty! Fidelity!

Ron Paul Has Acted Admirably On All These Leadership Traits:

“Truthfulness” first and foremost… Then: Principle, Integrity, Honesty,* Fidelity (to their oaths), Honor, Virtue, Compassion, Courage, Vision, Wisdom and Faith.

		<description>The campaign is webroots and grassroots.  It isn't about bots.  It's about a bunch of people who seem to think that sending tons of comments containing often little more than Ron Paul's name is somehow a good way to spread the message.

It generates name recognition, I suppose, but it seems awfully inefficient.  I prefer to actually address what is in a blog post when I make supportive comments.</description>

		<description>I... told.... you... somebody.... would.... read.... it.


Ron Paul is sending out completely off topic comments to every blog he can find.

.... are... these... called... ellipses...?

It's possible I'm a bot, but when I asked my programmer, he refused to answer.</description>
