I call it "Idol Worship," as it is both an attempt to replace God with the state, and to coerce God to fulfil one's agenda.

Interestingly, in my former evangelical days, I spiritualized all of these: not literal poverty, but spiritual. Everything else in the Bible I took literally, 6 day creation, worldwide flood, but "blindness" was a metaphor.

I like sound of the "ease of reading" option, thanks!

Hey, can you recommend a good translation of Gilgamesh?

"I never said most of the things I said" -Yogi Berra

I don't know what the answer is, but twice today on Broadway while I was at the street fair on the UWS, bicyclists sped through crosswalks I was in, against red lights, really endangering people. What do you suggest?

In NYC we haven't figured this out yet. Bicycles dont follow laws, speed through crosswalk against the red and are hazardous to pedestrians. Cars dont respect bicycles. Now sure what the answer is, but seems like enforcement might be a good start.

And keep in mind, this is a speed limit, not a ban.

This article is specifically about NYC, and OP is critiquing a proposed speed limit on electric bikes. My point is that unless you live in New York City, you're not going to see the benefit of this law. Those of us who do live here see the benefit because we're dodging these things all the time.

Curious, do you live in New york? I do, and I find myself dodging speeding bicycles way more than cars. One of my friends just got seriously hurt by a bicycle. They often speed, rarely stop at red lights, and go through crosswalks with pedestrians in it all the time.

That is incomprehensible

That's so metal!
