Marc, the day of the car is numbered. There is just no way we can continue
to support this extravagance much longer. Yea, we will HAVE to get back to
mass transit, cycling and walking in order to maintain some sanity in the
universe.

Exactly so! In fact, we would all be better off to bring back the humble
mule and get rid of our god damn cars.

The motor vehicle is a total abomination. We need to kill it even if we have
to drive a wooden stake through its heart.

The History Channel on Cable TV is showing a series of programs on The
Universe. I do not think it would be such a bad thing if a large asteroid
came crashing into the earth and sent us the way of the dinosaurs. I don't
know about you, but I am heartily sick of human kind. The sooner we perish,
the better!
