Portland: Celebrating America’s Most Livable City. Proyecto Zoom – Peru. Bristol to be Britain’s first cycling city. 20 20UTC junho 20UTC 2008, 1:08 pm. Filed under: políticas públicas. Bristol is to be Britain’s first cycling city as the Government looks to persuade people to use two wheels rather than four. David Millward: Cyclists are getting the cash, now they should observe the law. It is one of a dozen towns and cities chosen by Ruth Kelly, the Transport Secretary, to pioneer the project. The 11 ot...

Unconventional Folly: May 2009
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. While I was out. For just $1 a day. My long hiatus from this blog doesn’t signal its (or my) death—just taxes. As usual, I waited until the last few days and then furiously scoured my records for deductions. I used to think it was a national myth that people who file their taxes on the last day are the least likely to get audited, but evidently it’s true. So that’s what I do. The dual bush-league stadia. And the convention center hove. L, er, hotel. The state is a billion dollars sho...

Unconventional Folly: Slouching from Tucson
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2011/01/slouching-from-tucson.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. I’m thinking I can no longer call myself a liberal, or progressive. Perhaps I never was, anyway. Liberals tend to believe that people can learn to live peacefully with one another. They believe the human race can make progress towards justice and equality. They think we can learn from our mistakes. I used to think that way, even as late as 2008, maybe 2009. Not any more. It’s not the madman’s mayhem in. Don’t hold your breath. And as for any other means of killing people, not ve...

Unconventional Folly: June 2009
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. If you were asked to prioritize all of the issues that can be appropriately addressed by the Portland City Council, where would you place renaming a street after Cesar Chavez? Not that I’m opposed to renaming a street after Cesar Chavez. In fact, I have the perfect street in mind. It’s not 39. Besides that, no one pronounces Glisan correctly. Named after Rodney Glisan, an early Oregon physician who married into wealth, it is supposed to be pronounced like “glisten.&#...No matter w...

Unconventional Folly: Our sick economy
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009/07/our-sick-economy.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. Nothing pencils out anymore. Maybe nothing ever did, but it seems flagrantly more obvious today that virtually all business activities are entropic. Unsustainable. Oh yes, businesses survive, even thrive, but only by begging, borrowing, stealing, cheating or government subsidy. No business seems to make it on its own. No business can operate profitably without either cutting corners or receiving unearned revenue. Small farms haven't penciled out for nearly a century. Most other kin...

Unconventional Folly: July 2009
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Where there's smoke, there's ire. Ah, the Great Indoors. But this is a somewhat political blog, so for me, it's “Gotta Kvetch.”. It was the cigarette smoke. Enough people were smoking in the crowd that at times I grew a bit nauseous. At the least, it was irritating. And that brings me to my point: cigarette smoking must be prohibited in outdoor public places. So let's just ban outdoor smoking. Let the smokers puff away in a closet or a car with the windows rolled up. Or ...But d...

Unconventional Folly: Dagnab gummint burrocrats
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009/07/dagnab-gummint-burrocratst.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. If the DMV did health care. One of the main points in the argument against a single payer, government-sponsored health care system is that it would be run by heartless gummint burrocrats. One line I’ve heard several times is: “Do you want to trust your health care to the kind of people who run the DMV? There was a phone number at the bottom of the letter. I called it. A person answered. Yes, a real human being answered. Fact is, the DMV Express center at. So, as to whether I wan...

Unconventional Folly: August 2009
http://unconventionalfolly.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Free is a very good price. The ticket to better health care. So here’s the solution to our health care crisis: send all the uninsured sick people to another country that has socialized medicine. This idea springs from a guest column in The Oregonian. Yet he recounts his own experience. With Britain’s nationalized health care and comes away begrudgingly satisfied:. This would have two positive effects:. In the short run, it would save us billions of dollars. Buying a plane t...
