I don't know how much any of this is connected, but it sure feels like it. Indifference breeds resentment and hostility.

mister, you are right on target, far as i can see.......


I sold my car about five years ago - was like a junkie giving up his needle. I wasn't sure how I'd survve so emasculated and deprived.

well, many pedaled miles later I am quite happier and healthier, thanks very much.

Want to argue that one, crank up your brain and take a good look - I mean a REAL GOOD LOOK at a car commercial or two. Vehicles that are absurdly expensive, grossly overpowered and underengineered for their main purpose (Hello? A to B?) and they turn our air to toxic crud in the bargain. Yippee.

I'm sure people will chime in with all kinds of reasons they MUST have and use a car - as in everyday. I am sure for some people it's true. I am also pretty confident for most people they could reduce or eliminate their use of a car if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

But do they understand why they don't want to?
