Segway Banned In San Francisco
bhsurfer writes "The city of San Francisco has banned the Segway [CNN.com] from it's sidewalks before they've even arrived. Apparently Santa Cruz, Oakland and San Mateo are considering a ban as well. What a bunch of spoilsports...or are they? Any thoughts on this?" According to the article, hiring high-powered lobbyists may have backfired. but the city claims safety concerns are behind the decision.
We're talking about a state that has banned smoking in bars, fer crissake! Is anyone really surprised they're anal-retentive enough to ban a scooter? By the year 2010, everything will be illegal in California.
"I thought one of the main thing about Segway is that it was supposed to be sooooo intuitive like walking? what's up with the multi-hour training?"

Your screed is just more of that same old socialist, class envy, bleeding heart nonsense that thinking people pay taxes to protect.
Who gives a crap whether you are POORER or not, fool? We dont make laws in this country just because some whining little snot doesnt have as much money as someone else.
Laws are supposed to be based on the Constitution, not the Communinst Manefesto. Shut the fuck up, loser.
