[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 4247914, member: 25419"] Ya know, you're not wrong about taxes. (theft) I'm a bit of a fitness guy myself. Used to run on the shoulder of the highway to get my "long runs" in. Noticed 3/5ths of the drivers were looking at their phones as they passed my flesh and bone at 70MPH in their steel vehicle. I had every right to do what I was doing. They should have been paying attention to the road. Know what I did? I started running on trails. Cement trails, dirt trails, trails without cars. Sometimes at lunch I run sidewalks and streets downtown. If I get run over you know who's fault it is? Mine. The damned road is for vehicles, not me. If you want to risk being an organ donor, it's a free country, but don't pretend pedestrians, bicycles and mopeds are on equal terms with motorized vehicles. Darwin may line you out, and it won't matter who gets the citation. [/QUOTE]
