There was a thread earlier discussing how bicyclists are now calling themselves "bikers." I was at the Iowa State Fair yesterday when two guys in our little group were talking about all the "bikers" in their neighborhood. It soon became evident that their definition of the term was a bit different than mine. I had to ask them if a bunch of skinny guys in spandex drinking flavored water and lattes would be the new definition of a Biker Bar.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
