- No, and I know of no US comprehensively developed transportation based on
- the rickshaw or the pogo stick or for people who walk on their hands
- either. Not that I'd be surprised to hear one day that some organization of
- pogoists is demanding federal meney to build such a system. That is
- the new american way, isn't it?
