sometimes I think our goose is fried, we've got the other continents coming on board with universal use of private car use, what's happening worldwide is a determination to emulate the west in this privilege, even a car for each household is extravagant, in relation to what we should be doing to reverse damage to our habitat planet, human life exists in a very narrow band of the planet, a few miles above and the air is so rarefied so as not to support life, we're playing with fire, our posterity may not think much of us as they deal with the consequences, to think my father recalls going to school in horse and buggy, a disasterous one hundred year old experiment with the automobile, we're all in denial, walkable communities, very local living may, though unlikely, halt things and begin to heal our habitat, just the manufacturing of electric cars damages the planet, let's be honest, anything else is purely short sighted and selfish, car-free MIGHT save us,
