Wow, I remember seeing that movie when I was a teenager! References to that here are timely.

It's interesting to talk to people at work about New Urbanism, alternative transportation and stuff like that. It's incredible how brainwashed into living in far-flung neighborhoods full of "McMansions" where one has to use the private automobile for everything. Most people just don't get it. One person who says is concerned about the enviroment has three kids, one a teen from a previous marriage who drives everywhere (overpopulation), drives a large pickup truck for everything, has to "live out in the country" to be away from neighbors (sprawl), has to have all his "toys" ie: boats, ATV's, jet skiis and other fossil-fuel burning things (air pollution) and on and on, ad nauseusm.

America's consumer culture seems to be alot like "Logan's Run". Interesting parallels!
