Wouldn't it be easier to just nuke all the big cities?

Brilliant! Let's start with Paris, Berlin, and Moscow.

Did you consider walking?

If a car can't get across traffic, how is a pedestrian supposed to do it?

And, he (or she) is a liar who has a lot of unresolved issues.

I have never attempted to do that, and you know it,

At least they're all his name.

that exact
purpose. I occasionally switch my nic, but I don't use
more than one

You just use other peoples' names, and more pathetically,
their wife's name.



Scotty is just as incompetent with computers aas he is

At least I know how to use a spell checker.




I haven't changed anything about how I post in quite some

Yulp, same old boring crap.

That's a pretty good start... except that I use planes

Well, Jon. I don't fly, so I think all airplanes should
be
grounded, world wide.. I don't ride on busses, therefore
all
busses should be parked, permanently. Neither do I use
the
train, ditto. I loathe powerboats, we should sink every
one. People who ride motorcycles should get free gas.
Those
using wood stoves should get major tax breaks. Trucks ,
and
motorcycles, should be the only vehicles allowed on
Interstate roads.
All elevators should be welded closed and people forced
to
use the stairs.

I have more, but that's a start.

Nothing to do with trucks, freight, etc. They need to
travel. The main
problem is that regular consumers need to be weaned off
of
large, gas
guzzling cars and Stupid Utility Vehicles. If gas
prices
rose to north of
$5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars
more efficient
because no one would buy the gas pigs.

The point is not to "collapse" the economy. The point
is
to force people
to change their driving and car purchase habits.

Jon,

How about 18 Wheelers, Air Freight & air mail,
Military
air patrols,
Harbor patrols, border patrols? How about tripling
Bridge
fares?
Parking fares? School busing? Let's get the Cops back
on
there feet?
Trolley? How about going to Oars for Auxiliary Power,
Outlaw Power
Boating.
Home Heating with wood or coal or even electric.

We have a lot of ways to change our society to do
without
oil. I'm
almost 80 years old and don't give a damn:^) It up to
you
youn'uns.
CHANGE!!!!

Thats right, you are still Robert E Brody posting as my wife Terry.

It's because you have such an ugly wife and want people to think better
of you.

?? I drive a Jeep, and I have three other cars. I'm willing to pay more
or pick smaller cars if that's what it takes. I don't often agree with
Bushco, and even though he's just pandering, I agree that America is
addicted to oil produced by countries who are hostile to us. We should
let them eat their oil by reducing our dependency.

What we don't buy, China will. The Arabs couldn't care less if we all
buy solar-powered electric cars.

I don't care what China buys, but actually the Arabs would care, since we
would be setting the precedent for non-polluting transport and China would
likely follow our lead.

You mean like how they emulate us w/r/t human rights and the rights of
female infants?

We can even sell them the technology.

Why bother? They'll steal it and produce it for half the cost and sell it
to us.

The point is that we won't be dependent upon Arab states.

That's a laudable goal.

Lack of air/water/ground pollution would be a second benefit.

Reduction, perhaps, but never a "lack."

Even China and India don't want pollution.

No one does, but no one, including us, really makes any effort to curtail
it.

That's right. And, even the people in the gov't there are concerned about
it or will be concerned about it. No one wants to live in a polluted
environment.

Bubbles does. Why else would he choose to live in NYC?

Max

Not only is Robert Brody a liar with issues, he a coward and a thief.

There was no way a pedestrian could have crossed....especially the
trip back with $220 worth of groceries...WallyWorld gets offended if
you steal their grocery carts....
