Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control

somaTh writes "Dan Maes, a candidate for governor of Colorado, thinks he's found an international conspiracy that starts with bike sharing. The article describes his current complaints with the incumbent's policies. 'The bike program in it of itself, if that's all it is, I wouldn't be opposed to it,' Maes told 9NEWS. 'What I am opposed to is if it's part of a bigger program that the mayor has signed on to as part of a UN program. That I would be opposed to.' He goes on to argue that the bicycle program is only a gateway into bigger policies including, but not limited to, forced abortions and population control. I understand that bike seats are uncomfortable, but I had no idea it was on purpose."

    Do you really think bike messengers and guys who think they look good in lycra should reproduce?

    Hmm... So if I say "FOR THE GREATER GOOD." I can pass any legislation without looking at the consequences or the opportunity cost. Good to know. It's like the new "Think of the children." Maybe we should just federally fund domestically made electric vehicles for everyone. It would be a boost to GM/Ford and lower our dependence on foreign oil. Sure it would be expensive, but it's "FOR THE GREATER GOOD." we can just get the money by taxing all the business since they have an unlimited amount of money and this will have no consequences on them or the economy as a whole. I shouldn't have said that. We're about to have a lame duck session of congress.
