However I can say that the legal and moral climate in Portland is not it! <BR/><BR/>As a white male, I am descriminated against in Portland. <BR/><BR/>As a car driver I am delayed by cycilist every day, and believe me, the cycilist an who delay me have shown zero effort to share the road. <BR/><BR/>As a motorcycle rider I know how unforgiving traffic can be, yet I still manage to avoid greatly slowing fellow citizens and that includes pulling onto gravel dug outs to allow people wishing to travel faster to pass. It is BS that a bicycle can not do the same. I used to ride a bicycle everywhere, if a cyclist can not ride on rough terain he or she has no business riding at all. <BR/><BR/>A appreciate all the effort you made to write this post and you have made some exelent points!<BR/><BR/>Never the less, due to the F motorist, S non minorities, to H with smokers, damn conservatives, and the many other close minded advesarial atitudes the enlightened leftist in this town hold, I am moving to Missouri. This might please many, but consider the fact that I am not only removing the taxes that I and my family pay, but also the wealth that the 800 people whom I employ create as I am relocating the company I created. <BR/><BR/>This may be just a drop in the bucket of Oregons economy but I am not alone. So consider the next time you are contemplating the high cost of living and low wages as well as high unemployment, maybe some of the decisions you and others have made have contributed to it. <BR/><BR/>And when you think you are saving the world by not using gas, consider how much fuel cars burn while waiting behind a slow moving cyclist or transit bus and I think you will find that in truth, you are causing more fuel to be burnedjoelwishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279942831378008444noreply@blogger.com
