Since you bring up that we don't live in a value free world, might I suggest that one value decision might be to not stand in judgement of the decisions others make.
I have a simple philosophy. I expect folks to respect (or not to actively disrespect) how I live. In return, I respect how they live.
I thought your first posts here were genuinely reporting your experience and what seemed a valid point of view.
But I'm kind of lost on your "high moral" verbiage. And your "respect" philosophy leaves me a little lost too.
If a poster feels the automobile has considerable negative consequence for our society, should you not respect that?
At least, shouldn't you consider the possibility?
