vehicle emits 5-7 times more CO2 than
riding a bus that is three-quarters full.
Walk or cycle, and your transporta-

Vehicle fuels make up 75 percent of
the total use of fossil fuels in Eugene. We
need to reduce our reliance on single-
occupancy non-electric vehicles. Lane

CORPORATE VILLAINY
It is no wonder that Judge [Suzanne]
Chanti rendered a judgment against
OCOR (Our Community Our Rights) on
our initiative “Rights of Local Commu-
nity Self-Government.” The guys in the
$1,500 suits were there arguing the case
for industry.
The same type of corporate lawyer
was there representing the railroads
back in the 1860s when the 14th Amend-
ment was made law. Then the railroad’s
cadre of lawyers argued that the amend-
ment’s second reference to the term
“persons” applied to corporations!
Fast-forward to 2010, where they
successfully argued before the Supreme
Court for “Citizens United,” declar-
ing, once and for all, that corporations
are people. There is perfectly fertilized
ground for corporate hegemony. The
system constructed over time is not
broken. For the guys in the $1,500 suits
and their clients, it is a finely tuned and
fully functioning machine.
Regardless, the great ideals of de-
mocracy and the consent of the gov-
erned are worth fighting for and must
be founded.

FUNNY PAGES
I am a “comics guy” and I love the art
form of the comic strip, so it was not
only disappointing to see The Register-
Guard canceling one of the best comic
strips ever written, Non-Sequitur, but,
yeah, even worse to see their pathetic
excuse for doing so.
They want us to believe that this cor-
porate media company somehow lost
the “trust” of our community because of
this one comic strip.
Editor Alison Bath calls for sending
a clear, discernible message that they
[RG] will not tolerate actions that could
“potentially” erode the confidence of
our readers, etc.
Too late, RG, you already have proven
that you are not a community newspa-
per — what a pathetic way to treat the
readers of this community, and then to
have the temerity to say that you will not
tolerate something you don’t like. This
community is built on tolerance. Take
a look at the Eugene Weekly if you want
community.
My real grievance with the new cor-
porate media thing here in Eugene is
that they have decimated the comics.
The old RG knew the value of a rigorous
comics section. Sunday morning just
isn’t the same without the six pages of
comics in the Guard.
Now, of course, it is down to four
pages, and it just doesn’t have the same
vibrancy. And if you want to get rid of
comic strips, then get rid of Beetle Bai-
ley and Dagwood and Family Circus, be-
cause they haven’t been funny for years,
nay, decades.
