    this is true but other good things include:

    more people riding their bikes and therefore exercising.

    increased gestures of good will amongst men and women as everyone is placed out of their metal cans and forced to say hello to eachother

    less pee bottles thrown out of truck windows

    more?

    Suburban sprawl will tip the scale back to nightmare mode until suburbia turns into little mini self sustainable cities, or more affordable practical modes of transportation come along.

    Or 80 story high rises are built wall to wall in the downtown core and everyone in the burbs abandons their houses and moves into the DT core.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    beer is cheaper than a gallon of gas - can our vehicles run on bud?

    yeah truck drivers that throw out pee bottles
    on the road-side probably should be slapped stupid.
    littering jacks me up big time.
