War On Cars

Ha Ha Ha!

I love the use of Tea Party phrases in vogue right now.

I prefer 'Taking the ROW Back!'


Today's automobiles are the peak of technology.

I don't think they can be improved much in terms of safety, comfort, agility and power. They truly are marvels of the modern world and a far cry from the crapbuckets I drove in the 70s.

I retain a small, modern, efficient car and a motorscooter. (Personally, I hope this is my last four-wheeler.)

What preceded even me however were hundreds of years of Private vs. Public space, or 'property' if you like.

The tenets of public space demand that public space be shared equally, providing as close to a perfect opportunity of access as possible.

For only the last hundred years our public Rights Of Way have been given to automobiles. Even sidewalks are shrinking in the case where some brainwashed 'traffic engineer' believes 'increased flow' is the answer to volume.

No one should expect to move any faster than 20-25 MPH in an urbanized area. Residential neighborhoods should be even slower.

There's no 'war on cars.' Cars are gonna be just fine!
