However, I've never seen them mug anybody. And I haven't ever seen a traffic accident involving a horsecart, altho I have heard of them. One advantage, I think, is that if the driver is drunk, the horse can still get home alright. <br /><b>, </b>, <br />Mike<br />Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-36487143932306960592013-01-20T21:23:48.012-08:002013-01-20T21:23:48.012-08:00Those zorreros contribute to the cities crime stat...Those zorreros contribute to the cities crime statistics because they frequently mug people, and horse-drawn carts are a danger on the roads, not to mention the sanitary issues. It's time they got that crap off the street once and for all. <br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09107879926620352935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-78190130018417643372013-01-18T06:45:21.113-08:002013-01-18T06:45:21.113-08:00Finally Stuart writes something that is cool and n...Finally Stuart writes something that is cool and nice.

I would suggest that instead of the government or any authority imposing false change on good people, it would be far better to allow wealth to feed down naturally through the free economy. That way everyone will rise on their own abilities. It's a much more natural and nondiscriminatory way of improving everyone's prospects. I really hope to see horse and cart in Bogota for a long time to come and perhaps even in more developed countries too.Stuart Oswaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935995451698556144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-13047470670697102922013-01-18T05:44:19.819-08:002013-01-18T05:44:19.819-08:00Mike, I really like this post.
