"Bowdoin College bans cars for freshmen
Bowdoin College is banning cars for first-year students starting in 2009. Campus officials say the decision is part of Bowdoin's efforts to promote environmental responsibility.
I'm really getting sick of this shit.
You wanna be environmentally responsible?
Then SHUT the fucking WAR MACHINE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell Bush, Gore and the rock starts to QUIT LIMOING and FLYING!!!!
I wonder if this will finally wake up the brainwashed kids on this issue.
At the same time, they say the decision will help to foster a greater sense of community for college freshmen, who are already required to live on campus. Bowdoin College president Barry Mills says the decision makes sense, especially since having a car at Bowdoin "is mostly a luxury, and hardly ever a necessity (AP)."
Yeah, it's a "luxury," kiddo!!!
To HELL with the FUN THINGS about being a kid!!!!
And Boston already has those bike paths built for you, college kids!!!
"Boston's bike lanes nearly set for riders; 2 stretches are first for the city" by Maddie Hanna, Globe Correspondent | August 6, 2008.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, at a press conference outside Kenmore Square yesterday, said the first bike lanes on city streets - a mile stretch on Commonwealth Avenue near Boston University and a 2.2-mile section of the American Legion Highway by Franklin Park - are about ready for use.
The city has also begun installing about 250 bike racks around Boston, in what officials hope is a first phase of improvements to encourage bicycling.
"We put more people on bikes, we'll have less congestion," Menino said.
--MORE--"
As long as they keep it quiet, right, mayor?
Boston Mayor Can't Take the Pounding
Hey, I rode a bike for over ten years and it is a great idea, kids -- except for the impotency, of course!!!
I guess that's why I'm ALL for BABIES, huh?
