Not even going to bother reading it.  Why do you?
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Good question!  I actually asked myself the very same thing.  But AFTER I had read it.
So, why did I post the link here?
Dunno.
Know thine enemy, perhaps?
Nah!
You're right.
Too boring.

It's not as if the decision makers read that stuff, either.  You don't go along to council meetings to have Alderman Bootsparkle quiz you on why they should allocate their budget to a bunch of red-light-jumping pikey granny-defilers.  The important people know the score; this stuff's just bloviating.

He is copping for some good responses from folk who I would guess are not averse to providing their own power as opposed to engine power ;)
