I agree with you, Juniper. And a problem is that "Big Auto" (who happen to be real good friends of the oil industry, because no fuel cells are out yet, and companies are dragging their heels on hybrids) encourages this mentality.....one where the solution to crowded highways is more highways.....and one where people get the "bigger is better" mentality (if it wasn't for certain laws, everyone who could afford to would be driving tanks) And too many people believe a)that if the US gets into wars because of its policies, SO WHAT, they'll always win.....a kind of mentality that there are always just two sides and everything's black and white...just because Hollywood and even the Bible present the world that simply......and b)that it's always more FUN FUN FUN to GET AROUND in a LITTLE DEUCE COUP or a CUSTOM MACHINE, advocating some to SHUT DOWN transit systems....the group I'm kinda poking fun at, they wrote those songs BEFORE people realized such things as traffic jams and the point of saturation (which, except for a few remote places, has pretty much been reached all over the US, as well as around major metropolitain areas in Canada. <br /> <br />VSmith, there's an area like (Clockwork) Orange County around Montreal, called Senneville....big estates, use of Artisian wells and septic tanks (heaven forbid they have to share water with "the masses" of the rest of the island), and generally don't like outsiders. Before Senneville was swallowed up into the city of Montreal in 2002, they had a law prohibiting buses from running on their streets. However, a limited "taxibus" service is run to get around that....and possibly for the benefit of some servants or something. Only difference is Senneville is French speaking. But I guess it's pretty much an "OC" in many other ways. <br /> <br />~Ra'akone <br />
