Gas Prices keep going up; <br />there is apparent global warming due to fossil fuels, <br />The oil companies boast huge profits, <br /> The Middle East is full of political and religious anarchy, <br />countless duels, <br />Maybe Fred Flintstone’s car is the solution, <br />For this economic retribution. <br />Hybrids, and Hydrogen converters are coming about, <br />Ethanol and garbage related fuels for diesel are backstage, <br />'Shared Propulsion Car' <br />-is a creation by artist Michel de Broin. <br />It is a 'Hoopdy', <br />a 1986 Buick Regal from the last century, <br />It has been hollowed out, <br />to pedaled by people, <br />- in essence 4PP, <br />(four people power) <br />so as to pull any muscle in the leg or groin. <br />The four people were pulled over by the OPP, <br />(Ontario Provincial Police) <br />Trevor Baldwin was steering and was questioned by the officer, <br />He was ticketed for using an “unsafe vehicle”. <br />The Buick was towed to a lot and the trial did commence. <br /> 'As the Crown prosecutor tried to make his case Thursday, <br /> the court erupted in laughter, and the charges were thrown out.' <br />So in essence the use of people power had found a victory, <br />Although it may be small, <br />It can be attributed to Fred Flintstone and civilization known as Bedrock, what a story. <br /> <br />(4-8-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-needs-dino-anyway/
