"I'm totally blogging this..."

So, after an argument with Lindsay I've promised not to post the following comments on the AsburySafetyZone's retarded jamboree. I'll be posting a shorter one that doesn't mention her at all. You should all ridicule her for her insolence.

"Asbury is less than a mile long and lined with cars that force drivers to slow down to allow others to pass. The environment isn't indicative of an unsafe situation. My wife walks down Asbury to work nearly every day, so your erroneous comments about not knowing the area are just that. Snide remarks and accusative rhetoric haven't helped your cause, just made you look bad.

"Now, I'm not saying that traffic safety isn't important. I am, however, saying that there are far more important and pressing things to do than the purchasing of a web domain, using iWeb to create a page with a pig on it, setting up a blogger page with one post on it, and spending money on signs, most of which don't make any sense.

"I've also noticed that these signs have been removed from the lawns between curb and sidewalk, making them even less noticeable by passersby and, thus, utterly pointless. However, if these have been stolen, I rescind this past remark.

"As I said, traffic safety is a serious issue, and I hope and pray that no children have been hurt by speeding motorists on Asbury. But at this point, it seems as though folks with way too much time on their hands are piddling about instead of doing something meaningful for the community outside their own street. The streets of Evanston, incredibly not Asbury, are in a state of disrepair. Perhaps using your clout and boasted mayoral connections to raise awareness that bicyclists and cars alike have damaged their tires and each other in an effort to dodge these sometimes 10 feet wide holes. This, to me, seems like a far more important use of time and effort."
