Hey Chainlink, know what I think is lame?

When a website that claims to be promoting local cycling in the city of Chicago has a banner ad for a site which is one of the many internet discount outlets that make it hard for local bike shops.

Way to go Chainlink, bravo. Is the advertising dollar worth making things harder on the local shops here in Chicago?

Is this site about serving the local community or is it about being a profit center for it's owner?

What sort of Paleo nonsense is this, using a child to advocate consumption of RAW bacon? Commies everywhere, that's what this thread has devolved to!

Guilty as charged.

Just don't call me a Statist. Because much pain, suffering, grief, and downright mass-murder has been committed by those who conflated The People with The State.

Give me a world where hoomanz are so damn productive that necessities like food, shelter, clothing, education, knowledge, and even energy are so plentiful and cheap that they could be called FREE.

How do we get there? It isn't through Protectionism/nationalism or any other sort of artificial scarcities imposed by the state.

Zero-sum -that's how it is done.

If you don't mind, I will take it one step further. We don't get there by posting on bike forums, either. Nor do we get there by hijacking innocent altruistic threads.

Now, on with the bacon talk!
