Ok, I was around Lincoln Square this past Saturday, and I could have sworn that I saw Alderman Charlie Smyth of Ward 1 in Urbana riding his bike while talking on his cell phone! Ok, that is sheer hypocrisy and he needs to be called out on it!

I emailed Mr Smythe about this. Mr. Smythe was not talking and does not talk on a cellphone while cycling.
He did admit to performing an embarrassing act this past Saturday--shopping west of Wright Street.
I speculate that what he wanted to buy was not available in Urbana.

Urbana should switch to a "hunter-gatherer" system. Money could be banned, and everyone could barter their goods.
