Bicycle lanes?

As previously discussed, the owner of the Washington Times is calling for a "future-friendly" tunnel, opening up ground traffic between Alaska and Vladivostok, a route he forsees as crucial to God's plan for world peace. After poring over the blueprints, one blogging environmentalist is offering some constructive suggestions. Go read Circling Ground.

In light of his hope for "a new era of automobile travel," how does the Reverend feel about recent arguments suggesting we've nearly passed "peak oil," and that fossil fuel-based transport faces a limited future? Could he invest in developing alternate fuels or modes of transport to bring us into this "new era?" This would also cut down on our need to dominate other countries for their resources, = PEACE. [...]

If Moon decides not to expand the use of fossil fuels, perhaps he could build the World Peace King Sailboat Fleet, complemented by the World Peace King Repository of Freely Available Bicycles To Borrow at key destinations? This would cost much less than $15 billion or so for a World Tunnel-Bridge.

I appreciate the Reverend's regard for "numerous floating icebergs crashing against the bridge during the winter" and for the total lack of winter sunlight, in his subsequent decision to build a Peace King Bridge-Tunnel instead of a Peace King Bridge. But what about seismic issues? Would frequent earthquakes in this region suggest that burrowing through the earth is not truly "God's fervent desire?"

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
