Re: VP picks
Actually, from what I read Palin is FOR birth control (contraceptives, the pill, etc) but AGAINST abortion. I'm curious to read where it's been said that she is a supporter of abstinence as birth control as the only method. I've also read that Palin is a member of a rather large feminist movement fw...

Re: VP picks
I was totally onboard with Palin until I found out that she supported teaching creationism alongside evolution in schools. ANYONE that thinks creationism is a even a remotely miniscule chance of a valid idealogy is a complete WHACKJOB in my mind. I'm not a big fan of pro-life people either, but I ca...

Re: Problems with Rising Fuel Costs
Riding cycle in rain isn't so bad with a windshield (and you hardly notice it with a full dress bike), as long as you don't hydroplane. I've been caught in a rainstorm before with my windshield off, and I must say that rain at 50-60mph tends to hurt. Alot. Riding in winter isn't so bad either if the...
