Frank, thank you for reminding me that you’re a crook.

That makes no sense.

Auto oriented built environments are social engineering, though you arenâ€™t complaining about those!

Perhaps, but to my knowledge, creators of the auto-oriented infrastructure have never encouraged the reprehensible snitch culture alluded to in my aforelinked article. I mean, really. Is there anything worse than a snitch or a tattle-tale?
These people are begging to have fists rained down on their trim, caring faces. The forecast calls for a torrent of fist showers! Hoo-rah!

Interestingly, I did notice when I moved into my new place recently that one of Portland’s bearded, emaciated do-gooder twats was standing on my property STARING at me while I threw my crap into the recycling bin. After I offered him a polite “hello,” he continued staring at me, for an extended period, at which point I said “IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN HELP YOU WITH!?!”

To his pathetic credit, he scurried away apologetically. Perhaps he has Asperger’s Syndrome or some sort of mental retardation, or maybe he was just an indie-rocker. More likely, he was simply another Portland do-gooder who couldn’t mind his own damn business.

Amen, brotha! And don’t force me to mow my lawn if I want prairie grass, mofos!

O’Toole is using a false premise, he knows damn well that roads don’t exist on a profit or loss basis.

The problem with the big dig was that there was no rail link built between North Station and South Station.

I’m not in agreement about the tyranny thing; ultimately we’re dealing with somewhat well-meaning albeit completely droned-out/bureaucratic stooges. Lunk-headed, soulless automatons who are trying to get by like anyone else.

But I do get a chubby when PDX’s Planning and Sustainability representatives politely tell local news outlets that “it’s hard to make people change their behaviors.” As though its implicitly understood that I should stand compliantly aside and allow faceless dolts to micro-manage my day-to-day life.

They can eat a hot bowl of d*cks.
