Just as the visionary detractors warned,
traffic has become horrendous. Sure, most
of the time there is absolutely no delay,
but sometimes I’ve been delayed up to 30
seconds, even a minute or two during rush
hour. This is a terrible injustice nobody
should have to endure!
And the naysayers were also correct
when they predicted that drivers would
avoid the congestion, severely hurting
businesses on that stretch. Don’t let the
parking lots full of vehicles fool you; those
businesses are dying out there! And all of
this in the name of safety, inclusiveness
and livability?
If we allow this new design to stand,
Eugene’s Cycling Industrial Complex will
be empowered to redesign more outdated
roadways, marginally slowing down traffic
in other neighborhoods throughout this
city.
I ask you citizens of Eugene: Is that the
world that we want for our children?

LOVE ’EM TO DEATH
Today’s 10 highest grossing box office
releases are about animals, including
Finding Dory, The Jungle Book, Zootopia,
The Secret Life of Pets and Kung Fu Panda.
Nearly half of our households include a
dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two-
thirds of us view them as family members
and cherish them accordingly. We love our
animals to death.
Literally …
For every cat, dog or other animal
we love and cherish, we put 500 through
months of caging, crowding, deprivation,
mutilation and starvation before we take
their very lives, cut their dead bodies
into little pieces and shove those into our
mouths. And that doesn’t even include
Dory and billions of her little friends,
because we haven’t figured out how to
count individual aquatic animals that we
grind up for human or animal feed.
The good news is that we have a choice
every time we visit a restaurant or grocery
store. We can choose live foods — yellow
and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts
and grains as well as a rich variety of grain
and nut-based meats and dairy products.
Or we can choose dead animals, their
body parts and other products of their
abuse.
What will it be?

HILLARY IS BEST SHOT
Bernie Sanders supporters: If you
have not listened to Bernie’s speech at the
Democratic National Convention, please
do so. You can find the full speech online.
Bernie hasn’t given up on the revolution;
he hasn’t sold out. He is continuing to
push for our goals in the most effective
way he currently has at his disposal — by
influencing Hillary Clinton.
There is historical precedent for this
move. Obama didn’t care about healthcare
reform, but Hillary kept pushing for it
