Probably goes w/o saying but im gonna say it anyway........every man woman and child on the planet cannot live the typical american or english speaking country's typical car centric life or lifestyle.........its not physically possible. Having said that and then realizing that the world is rapidly approaching a point where this is becoming very much an issue and we've likely already gone way past the point of no return with respect to permanent environmental damage and resource depletion due to this type of life, why not make changes? If its possible to do so on a personal basis and community level, it is the responsible thing to do. At some point everyone will have to make sacrifices, voluntary one's are often easier.

Having said all that, I dont hate cars or car drivers, but I do find that many of them are clueless and irresponsible with their attitude and serious lack of any consideration to their own impact on the world. That does piss me off to no end. Can one person make a difference, sure, a very small one, but every little bit helps doesnt it?

We as humans and animals share the same traits as all other animals, we will destroy ourselves by overconsuming, even knowingly. That doesnt mean everyone has to have this same attitude though, I for one do believe there is hope, and I have and will continue to make sacrifices towards that end, even if it may be a futile attempt, couldnt live with myself any other way. Its only natural to have some disdain for someone when you see them drive 1/2 mile for a basic errand isnt it? Or commute a couple miles for work using a car, or any other traveling that could be done much cheaper and responsibly.
