In One Day

 Old Kadizzle went from Amsterdam to Payson in one day. A long trip? Yes, yes, yes. The old body is worn out from walking on concrete, sitting on trains, planes, and just plain sitting. Feels good to be home, no schedule, no navigation. 

The trip was an education. Small towns are the ticket. Who needs masses of people. There is no good way to describe the reality of bicycles in Amsterdam. Every street is lined with parked bikes, and there are way more people on bikes than cars. A wonderful site is the moms taking the little ones to school on special bikes with a big box built in the middle. What is the result? No fat people. Here is an entire city of physically fit humans. Also the streets are not jammed with cars. The most wonderful thing is he lack of goofy cars, trucks, and Harley motorcycles. It is a civilized country. Public transportation is a dream, you don't need a car, and most people don't have one.

Cult Republicans love to misuse the word socialism. Kadizzle came across a chart showing the happiest countries in the world. The United States was ranked number 15. Every country that ranked higher was more socialist. Shove that up your ass Republicans. 

Europeans take pride in not wasting. Americans worship waste. 

Change subjects: One the plane back Kadizzle watched a short documentary on how eating meat will destroy the planet. More damage is done by meat production to the environment than any fossil fuels. The rain forest that produces our oxygen is being destroyed. 

Change subject:  The planet is overcrowded. One lasting impression of Europe is the crowding. People are packed into tiny apartments ad homes. There are just to damn many of us. One interesting fact Kadizzle learned long ago, when people prosper they have fewer children. We need fewer people, and a lot fewer stupid people, also known as Republicans.
