This excellent animation from TrueMajority shows in
graphic detail (using Oreo cookies) how ridiculously, large
the military budget is, and how we could solve many domestic
problems with a modest 12% cut. A must-see. (watch

Justice
for cyclists? Here are all
the local cases we know of in which the motorist was at fault, didn't
try to flee, and received at least a traffic ticket for their crime.
(Yes, there's only one.)
John Howell was traveling east
on Steck, crossing Mopac, and was hit by a car traveling west and
making a left turn to go south on the access road. John suffered a
broken leg and a grade 3 separation of his right shoulder. The
driver actually got a ticket (for failure to yield right of way)!
John got a lawyer (Patricia Kelly) before he left the emergency
room. As of July '98, John expected it to take another month or so
to settle with the motorist. John is former president of the
Austin Cycling Association. If an experienced cyclist like John
Howell can get hit by a car that he could see in front of him, we
all can.
