Lineup for Statue Cruises' Statue of Liberty crown tickets: Visitors not allowed since 9/11 (video)
In another smoke and mirrors effort to divert our attention from important issues, our government, through Statue Cruises, is again allowing "we the people" into the crown of the Statue of Liberty. We own the Statue of Liberty, and it is supposed to represent our liberty . Yet, a bunch of white guys in Washington (some are women or people of color just acting like all the white guys who have gone before them) have restricted us from touring the crown.
Now, people are lining up to purchase coveted tickets to the top of Miss Liberty. I wonder what kind of search they will have to pass through to actually get in? Perhaps this picture is not far from the next government restrictions reality.
In order to get the most publicity from this new government stunt and help us to forget we are a warmongering country waging two wars abroad and not able to feed, house, educate or provide health care for our own people, the Statue of Liberty's crown opens to the public on July 4. So, step right up and get in line to worship at the head of the hottest babe in New York harbor.
May we all experience true liberty and freedom, free from government restrictions, and may that genuine liberty pervade our entire Spaceship Earth soon....

Beer Bike

Though tourists cheer, officials jeer Amsterdam ‘beer bike’
n a canal-threaded city of bicycling masses, so-called “beer bikes” are part of the landscape. Holding 10 or more people, these people-powered bars on wheels are popular with tourist groups in Amsterdam.

Because of two recent publicized accidents, however, their safety is being scrutinized.

“This beer bike is completely legal, but he [City Councilor Hans Gerson] is not very enthusiastic about this idea of people drinking while being amongst traffic,” said a spokesperson quoted in a Reuters report.

Yet, continued the article, the spokesperson “downplayed the possibility of a ban, stressing the alderman is looking into various options.”

In the report, the owner of beerbike.co.uk claims that his company “only rents a beer bike out with a driver and has never been involved in an accident.”

The beerbike.co.uk rentals seats up to 22 people, including a nondrinking driver. A two-hour tour on the weekend costs about $34 per person, including beer. The bike is pitched on the website as “de biggest beer bike in the world with 30 liters of beer on board.”
