human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food
for fuel and need no special parking facilities."

Ellen
Vandslice, Radical Pedestrian
Primed with indignation and a big
hit of adrenaline, I bopped the back of his car with our diaper
bag as he pulled away. And this man, who was in such a hurry
that he couldn't yield the right-of-way to a mom with two
babies, found the time to stop his car, get out, put up his
fists and say, "You ever do that again I'll beat the
shit out of you."
