Americans Are Pretty Confused About Cap and Trade
- and said:
What if the FCC started having quotas for how many times a network or radio station needed to mention current events? Like, making it so two characters on a sitcom have to talk for 15 seconds about an issue? I wonder if that kind of practice would increase understanding/participation.

Should We Tax Soda?
- and said:
We’re talking about 3 cents/can. If that hurts somebody’s wallet, they can afford to buy less soda. And for a company to sell enough of this kind of product that it becomes a problem, they can afford to have to charge more for it.

Berlin Gives Fixies das Boot
- and said:
I ride a fixie, and I can understand how stopping would be a problem for a lot of people. It’s a little astonishing, though, that a country would have so many fixies with riders who don’t know how/don’t think they have to stop them, especially knowing they’ll be caught.As for being a setback for bike culture, I don’t know! Bike messengers like fixies, because, for one thing, in the winter, brakes will fail, and you can still stop with a fixie. But maybe the trade of bike messenger is fated to die off soon! I don’t know.
