Still staying the course?

Ever been in a car where everyone including the driver knew he took the wrong road, and he is still driving down that road thinking he might find a way not to have to turn around?

Now imagine for a moment that the road is filled with land mines or IED's, and some poor guy is out in front on a bicycle -- the security detail for this little excursion. In fact, there are thousands of men and women on bicycles -- and so far, only 1,900 have been killed and another 18,000 injured (many quite severely).

You and I -- we're in the car. In the backseat, watching the video screen and chilling out. We're safe and comfy, and nobody we know is out there on a bike.

How long we gonna ride like this, I wanna know?
How long you gonna be all comfy in that back seat?
No wonder Cindy Sheehan is pissed.

How about you?

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
