1st May 2010.....Dark Skies......and deadly drivers


"Apartment" May 2010


"Rye Hill Park" may 2010

A thought, after a friend, who like me cycles everywhere.....told me
that she was nearly killed by a car driver driving through a red light
at the bottom of Peckham Rye. The lights had not just changed...
they were plain and simply red allowing...or so one
would have thought drivers/cyclists on the cross road
to travel safely and freely when the lights were green
in their favor.

I will support a government that fined drivers at least £4,000.00 for
driving through red lights. If they cannot pay, their vehicle should be
sold to offset the fine. In addition they should either be put in jail or
made to work in cemeteries digging graves as part of community service.

another thought:

Vehicle drivers using hand held mobile phones while driving should
also be fined at least £2,000.00. The authorities should also be able
to sell their vehicle to pay the fine if needs be.
The community service element they would be
required to undertake would be with a local
undertaker or hospital morgue.

a final thought:

We need a traffic police force that will actually enforce the laws
unlike at present.

Here is his speech. I’m Timothy Snyder, I’m historian and I’ve been asked to speak to you about the significance of a Ukrainian victory. We’re all thinking about victory or at least the end of the war as we get into May. What I’m about to speak to you about is the significance of this war and how this war might end or how this war must end. The  first perhaps  the most fundamental is that Ukraine’s victory, I believe, is the only way to achieve peace. Presumably all same people would like for this war to come
