Geez I always end up defending cars-which I like-along with everything else with wheels(not inline skates-too old-nearly fractured my skull)
making me the bad guy here.
Let's not exaggerate, the facts are bad enough
:
It is true that 95 percent of American households own a car, and most Americans get to work by car (85 percent). It wasn’t always this way, nor is it likely to stay this way. Until World War II and into the late 1940s, many Americans did not own cars. People lived in cities and towns, and 40 percent did not own cars but used public buses, trolleys and trains.
