selfexpression + indulgence + disclosure
This movie was shot by (or at least for) Thomas Edison way back in 1899, and shows that the fixie-tricksters are doing nothing much that’s new.

Seriously captured my attention and worth posting. Some of the best street riding I’ve ever seen!
If you program for a living you are going to love this, otherwise don’t bother watching. Unless you like rap.
The financial crisis in America is really a moral crisis, caused by the series of proofs which the American public has received that the leading financiers who control banks, trust companies and industrial corporations are often imprudent, and not seldom dishonest. They have mismanaged trust funds and used them freely for speculative purposes. Hence the alarm of depositors, and a general collapse of credit.

Way to much time on their hands, but looks like fun.
What’s the deal? I can’t believe we just throw money at companies and their leadership when they have flat out proven they “suck” at their job. A recent article I read says that 1.6 BILLION yeah, that’s what I said 1.6 BILLION went to the executives of bailed out banks. What a joke! We’ve made bad deals, bad investments, bad decisions, but give us more money so we’ll be motivated to do better. I am so fed up with this mentality. Why don’t we just pay them a fairly normal salary like 500,000 or something that most of us could only dream of and the rest based on Results, there’s a concept. Some of these folks make well over 30 mil a year with all their perks. It’s a joke. We need to be paying them less not more and if they perform and the company performs and makes money give them some incentives. How can you bonus someone when you lost millions upon millions of dollars? I don’t get it. In my honest opinion if you are an executive in a company asking for a taxpayer handout… STEP ASIDE.
A little boy of three sittin’ on the floor
Looks up and says, “Daddy, what is war?”
“son, that’s when people fight and die”
The little boy of three says “Daddy, why?”
A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
“What is truth?”
