Blogger slams columnist on speed cameras

from Getting There by Michael Dresser

One of Washington's fiercest (and best) bloggers has ripped a Washington Post writer over a column that all but condoned arson when directed against speed cameras.

David Alpert of  Greater Greater Washington does a pithy job of taking apart the Post's Petula Dvorak for her obsession with the sheer injustice of being caught breaking the law by one of those "horrid contraptions" in a column today. Instead, Alpert refocuses the debate where it belongs: the threat to human lives from speeding drivers.

...

By the way, I'm not sure a "speed tax" is such a bad idea. Speeders are by definition bad drivers and bad drivers impose more costs on the public than responsible ones. Why shouldn't they pay an additional "tax."

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
