Me, I ride my bicycle and so I never ever have to pay for fuel, road tax, MOT, repairs, insurance, and all them other whatnots. Cars' so expensive to run, don't know how anyone manages to do that and eat as well..... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Don't know how it works in America - but in Britain, I'd like to see public transport vastly improved, and more people get rid of their cars altogether. Unfortunately, the government doesn't think that way. Privatising the railways (major screwup, culminating in big egg on face) has turned out very expensive, and services are worse than they ever were... Now they want to do the same with the tube. Great. Something doesn't work, so you go and do the same thing all over again.
Personally, I'd like to see fuel prices go up and up and up and up, with public transport, car sharing schemes and so forth being enthusiastically promoted by government. Most people wouldn't agree with me, as our prices are already way higher than almost any other country's.
So hey, let's all suffocate in the fumes, whilst global warming marches on. (Who's going to trot out Lee Raymond this time....
