    How many people would be offended at the statement "white people can't see the colour purple"? Very few, I'd imagine, because it's patently ridiculous. If you imply that women are …

    I'm a low-lander cyclist who moved across the ocean. For the most part, you're right. A couple of observations though... The "right on red" seems to be a hack to address the fact t…
