First, I don’t see that becoming a common sight say, here in Reno, at this time of year. Next, that doesn’t do a lot for the “downtrodden masses” image. Finally, there were probably more scoots in that clip at that ONE intersection than we’ll see in the U.S. for quite some time…kinda sad.
brouhaha: that image was a part of the propaganda served to my generation as justification for sending to that part of the world the fathers and grandfathers of those Americans who are filling the same role in Iraq today.
In this clip, I do NOT see a deprived people enslaved by godless Communism. What I see are a whole lot of people on a full spectrum of “two-wheeled oddities”(seemingly loosely regulated) trying to make a living and function day-to-day like the rest of us.
