Well, usually vegans are vegans for moral reasons,(cuz it sure as heck ain't for their health ) such as the belief that it is wrong to kill animals under any circumstances. I am car free for moral reasons, because I think cars are over-used in this country(as well as it saving me LOTS of money, and being healthier,), NOT because I think cars are inherently evil. This is an important distinction. I honestly don't mind it if people drive cars, and YES, some people drive out of necessity.

When Howard Kunstler's prophecies come true and we're all riding on the backs of dragons, maybe this will not be so, but as for now, (and I hate to bust anyone's bubble,) some people need their vehicles to maintain their standard of living. This is not to say that many people THINK they need a car and don't, for anyone who will insist on misinterpreting what I've just said. So to recap: cars not inherently evil, since they are an inanimate object, overuse of cars is not what I'd cal "evil" either, but the unintended consequences of this ignorance and or heedlessness about causality is what gives us our present situation.

Besides, even if I'm complicit in the rise of the Fourth Reich, we WILL eventually run out of oil, and then everyone will be happy. Oh, and look into the definition of a "koan" before you misapply the term again, Beko.
