If more people rode mopeds, vespas, those scooter things, etc we'd
be better off. Europeans do, why shouldn't we?

Good question - IF you live in or near a major city. But many are fortunate
enough to not have to do that. The down side (or plus side depending on how you
look at it) of this is that jobs, markets, medical care and entertainment are
often far away. It is 15 miles (one way) to my job, 8 to the nearest grocery,
and 20+ to major shopping or a MD. That'd be hard to do in winter snow.

Moreover, why should we be forced to live cheek to jowl like Europeans just so
people of limited intellegence can breed like roaches, having 3, 4 and more kids
per couple??
