Here is how I am imagining it.

Different political groups have their own media. So you can see the environmentalists blog cheer the addition of some Bike paths, while the drudge report equivalent talks about how terrible it is that the city is making it harder for people to drive and spending tax dollars on this, while the AARP affiliation complains about how old people can't ride bikes and all money should go to old people.

So interesting to see each segments take on what you are doing in this fashion!

I think this situation is too ironic to not put here...

I was studying in Denmark and was friends with a Romanian around my age (born around 86) and he LOVED America, he had spent 6 months in Chicago and 6 months in New York. One night, He would come up to me as I was the only American at the party and just gush over how great it was and as he got drunker he then said, "But you know what I do not love about America, It is a fucking Police State" And then he went on about how much it scared him to see cops in New York with big guns, and how they don't let you drink in the streets, and how strict people are about littering and Jay walking... So soommmme Romanians think we are a police state... only in this instance it was the american laughing about the accusation.
