The automobile is essential for many people. No one should live in guilt about a situation they did not create, that is, a car-dependent society.
But I ask you: have you ever had to cut your bike ride short because of high smog levels?
Yes, and on this occasion it had nothing to do with cars, but with stupid f*cks who thought lighting fires was 'really kewl man'. Either way, I'm sick of people trying to blame someone else for the situation they have with auto-dependence. We all face choices about where we live and so on.
If anybody really wanted to be car-free they could. The fact is, most people don't particularly want to. Of course, a global oil crisis could fix that
