I am an avid cyclist, and as any cyclist can tell you, cars are the enemy. Cars hog the road, treat you like shit, and put your life in danger every time you ride. Yesterday a 14 year old boy was hit and killed by a car. Today a small shrine has sprung up at the place of his death. It made me cry on my way to work, to see a kid taken out by a fucking car at such a young age. I stopped and took some pictures of some people dropping off flowers…I can only hope he is remebered by lots of people. It is my opinion that otherwise normal and nice people turn into crazy people when they get in a car. The seperation from the outer world makes you forget that your actions have real effects on the world. I am sure any of you who drive have been cut off and instantly start to scream at the other person, something you would never think of doing if someone walked in front of you on the sidewalk. I honestly feel that the car, along with religion, are the two worst inventions ever created. the car kills more people than any war ever has, destroys our land for roads, fouls our air, uses up resources, and makes us forget what it is to be human. In honor of every kid that is taken out by a car at far too young an age, i want each and every one of us to get out there and walk, bike, or run. Experience nature, get back in touch with other humans, hug someone. This kid will never get to do any of that ever again. It is our duty to change these things.
